This article critically examines the thesis of GVC-oriented industrial policy and the view that traditional industrial policy is no longer relevant. This is done from the perspective of Africa. Placing Africa at the core of GVC-oriented industrial policy reveals several problems. Using the example of industrial policy in Nigeria’s cement sector, the article will argue for the relevance of traditional industrial policy, whereby a country seeks to build a complete production chain within its borders. The case study fleshes out the argument that traditional industrial policy is still relevant – both in itself and as a pre-condition for GVC-oriented industrial policy in Africa
