Abstract
This work critically analyses Thomas Kuhn’s scientific revolution as a panacea for socioeconomic development in Nigeria. The paper adopts the method of contextual analysis. The data is generated from both primary and secondary sources. The work observes that heavy reliance on other countries is the bane of sustainable development for Nigeria. This paper recommends that for sustainable socio-economic development in the post-COVID-19 era, Nigeria should embrace a paradigm shift in all aspects of its endeavour. It is the position of this work that the country has the potential and capability to rewrite its history from being an underdeveloped nation to a developed one through a paradigm shift by wholeheartedly embracing indigenous technology.
