CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction/Background of Study
In the bid to improve the economy of Nigeria, the Government has implored different measures in the pursuit of a better economy, yet the growth seems to be slow. Considering the economy in retrospect, many will notice that the industrialization of the state is gradually drawing to the drain. Some argue that this is because, the impact of small and medium scale business are no more acknowledged and as such people are no more encouraged to embark on that entrepreneurial journey anymore. Youths look forward to getting a job at a reputable company, a multinational company so to say, rather than the choice of being innovative.
Small and medium enterprises according to Nath, L. (2012), “is a life-wire for any growing economy in this age”, this in no doubt is reason why the big economies of the world rely and support small and medium scale businesses in their country. The Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) sector carries great hopes and great burdens in the evolution of all of the transitional economies. Sustained and healthy growth of this sector is obviously necessary, since it is difficult to imagine rising overall living standards and social peace without such a development.
