It examines economic geography of automobile spare parts trade in Lagos in terms of location, interaction and distribution. It also investigates the nature of changes and reasons for the occurred changes in this geography. The findings suggest that automobile spare parts petty traders demonstrate interconnectedness between places through international and interregional trade. There is an embedded distribution in Africa of manufactured goods produced in the semi-periphery with automobile spare parts petty traders serving as a link between China (the global semi-peripheral manufacturing) and Sub-Saharan African’s retailers. This thesis provides implications, and concludes based on the research findings that the automobile spare parts traders in Lagos contribute to both economic and spatial development of Lagos and demonstrates Nigerian's participation in the globalization processes.
