SAPs are processes of market-oriented reforms in policies and institutions, with the goals of restoring a sustainable balance of payments, reduction of inflation, and creating the conditions for sustainable growth in per capital income.The SAP was introduced in the 1980s and 1990s by the Bretton Woods institutions for developing countries as a mettlesome tool to foster economic growth and development. The main objectives of SAP were to upsurge productivity in national economies, rectify balance of payment deficits, reduce government expenditure and boost economic growth and viability.Irrespective of the luminous epistles of SAP believed to be the abracadabra to foster the abrupt sustainable fortunes of the African ambience, the supposed SAP as a talisman has rather created a volatile economic landscape which has further racked divergent opinions.
