Development in an economy refers to the increase or the decrease in the level of national production , national income , and per capital income of the people . The main purpose of economic development is to raise the standard of living and the general well-being or welfare of the people living in that economy . Hence there are some factors which are considered as obstacle which affect or hinder the economic development in areas like West Africa let's consider some of these obstacles :

* majority of leaders in developing countries do not direct well the humans and natural resources of such countries and this lead to low economic development .
* Over dependence on imports rather than export of other agricultural or mineral product has allowed developed Nations to dictate the pace of economic development in Nigeria .hence high level of import discourages economic development .
* The high rate of illiteracy and uneducatedness of the majorities among the population in developing countries , many people cannot read and write and this eventually leads to low development in areas like this .
