ABSTRACT
The research work was aimed at investigating the growth of small and medium
scale enterprises in relation to economic development and to analyze the effect
of small and medium scale enterprises in the Nigerian economy development.
Starting with a general recourse to study the small and
medium scale enterprises at its root; the essay attempted to study institutions
responsible for the growth of small and medium scale enterprises in Nigeria.
Regression analysis was done on the Gross Domestics
Product (GDP) and small and medium scale enterprises and the findings shows
that 5% level of significance, the constant term and the estimates of ISSP are
both statistically significant.
On the basis results obtained, it is recommended that
Nigeria must henceforth take bold steps with regards to our small and medium
scale enterprises to ensure the growth of the sub-sector. I hoped that the
recommendations will be useful for the improvement of small and medium scale
enterprises towards economic development.

Among the institution are the National Directorate of Employment (NOE), the
People's Bank of Nigeria (PBN), National Economic Reconstruction Fund
(NERFUND), Nigerian Bank for Commerce and Industry (NBCI), Nigerian Industrial
Development Bank (NIDB), Nigerian Export Import Bank (NEXIMB).

finance institutions (DFIs) to provide credits for the small and medium scale
enterprises.

guidelines to banks to lend a minimum of 20 percent of their total loans and

Another limitation to the study is the time limited and
the financial constraint.
1.8 THE PLAN OF THE STUDY
This research is divided into five chapters. In Chapter
One is the background of the sectors, the statement of the problems, the aims
and objectives, the statement of hypothesis, the research methodology, the
significant of the study, the scope and limitation and the references.
In Chapter Two, the frame work of the sectors will be
developed and details about the certain theories on the sector and the
definition of terms.
In Chapter Three, the method of collecting data will be
highlighted. It will also entail the strategy and approach of the study.
Chapter Four, will deal with the analysis of research
finding and the interpretation and the evaluation of data.
In Chapter 5, are the Summary, Conclusion and
