INTRODUCTION
The Kaduna State Bureau of Statistics produces the State’s Gross Domestic Product (SGDP)
annually in collaboration with the National Bureau of Statistics. The need to measure state
economic performance independently in comparison with other states to help strengthen policy
making and promote investment cannot be over emphasized. The KDSGDP is showing the growth
of the aggregate economy in the state and contribution of each sector to the performance of the
economy. Kaduna State Gross Domestic Product (KDGDP) aims to expressthe worth of the output
of Kaduna State in local currency using production method of GDP computation. It also captures
all final goods and services produced within the State, thereby assuming that the final monetary
value of everything that is produced in Kaduna State is represented in the State GDP. The GDP
helps to highlight performing sectors and non-performing sectors of the economy with a view to
promoting policy making.
