dc.description.abstractThe paper discusses the significance and values of Aso-Ofi craft to the development of the Ilorin Emirate in terms of income, revenue, employment, wealth creation, trade and market it had generated. The paper using oral interviews and some secondary sources, asserts that, the industry, which played prominent role in Ilorin economy crumbled in the late 1980s, as a result of the dwindling economic condition of the country that stemmed from the Structural Adjustment Programme and liberalization policy of Nigerian government. The study further states that, the effect of these policies like influx of undercapitalized and inadequately trained newcomers, importation of foreign textiles like Damask and lace, copying, undercutting, positioning of supply higher than demand, and the problem of debt, had downgraded, weakened and undersized the industry towards the close of the century.en_US
