Answer Details

The textile industry is best located in the northern part of Nigeria because of the availability of cotton. Cotton is the major raw material used in the production of textiles, and the northern part of Nigeria has a conducive climate for cotton cultivation. This makes it easier and cheaper for textile manufacturers to access the raw material needed for their production. In addition, the availability of cotton in the northern region also reduces the cost of transporting raw materials to textile factories, making the production process more cost-effective. Therefore, the availability of cotton is a significant factor in the location of the textile industry in the northern part of Nigeria.
