Abstract
One of the most common characteristics of less-developed countries is geographical. One aspect of the geographical environment is the relationship between the amount of available land that contains adequate resources to sustain a viable economy and the population depending on it. Lack of mineral and other natural resources which provide basis for industrialisation is another factor. Where many lessdeveloped countries possess minerals like iron ore, coal, diamond, gas etc the human and capital resources to convert these into development potentials become a problem. It is therefore considered both as a challenge and motivator to examine the problems and prospects of the development of iron and steel industry in Nigeria as an academic exercise. It is hoped that the findings of the study will provide some useful information to readers and organs of the Federal Government of Nigeria who are responsible for making the establishment of a steel industry a reality in Nigeria.
