Abstract
In Nigeria, Ceramics Industry have played significant role in uplifting the condition of the
common man and the economy at large. However, the Ceramic industries in Nigeria are hampered
with multifaceted problems which are encumbering their performances. Worried about the
declining and or moribund nature of the Ceramic industries, this paper investigates the state of
Nigerian Ceramics Industry and proposes some measures considered vital for the reactivation and
support of the ailing ceramic industries. Some of the measures include, relying more on the
abundant local raw materials to substitute imported inputs, provision of funds for the reactivation
of ailing Ceramic Industries to enhance production, creation of design department by indigenous
industries and provision of technical assistance through international bodies.
