| Summary: | Industrialisation is sine qua non to development. Development equally rubs off on the socio-economic status of the people. Hence, this paper examined the chronology of industrial efforts in Kogi State and how it impinged on the development of the State and the impact for the socio-economic status of the people. It is observed that an industrialist in the course of directing the industry to maximize his own gains; there infiltrated an invisible hand which promotes an end beneficial to the society which was not part of his intention. Thus, considering the reality of this assertion in the socio[1]economic status of the people of Kogi State with particular reference to where the industries in Kogi State are located, the paper advocated for enabling environment for more industrial efforts as its multiplier effects would go a long way in enhancing the socio[1]economic status of the people, More so, taking into account the fact that the government alone could not solve the problem of teeming unemployed population in the state.
