transformation and diversification of economy. It enable a country to utilize
it’s factor endowment and depends less on external sector. For its growth and

industrial establishment. Therefore due to the above incentioned role played by
industrial sector, that is small-scale industrial in the economy, it requires
some financial support from government for the smooth running of the
industrial.
But small-scale industries is a sub-sector of development that is of great
importance as mentioned above, but it has not received the types of attention
it deserves that is why the government and the Federal Ministry of industries
lay-down the parameter under which a industrialist may take advantage of the
various incentive erected by the government for the growth of the small-scale
industries. Such incentives are in the form of loan provision of machinery and
raw materials.
The process of taking advantages of the various incentive scheme are so
cumbersome and its subject to bureaucratic radicalism and only few small-scale
industries are able to utilize them.
The importance of small-scale industries to the survival of a nation can no
longer be saved. They have moved from the substance level to pre-indigenization
period of importance in the country’s industrial process. Therefore the

1991 N318.7 million in 1992 and N320 million in both 1993 and 1994 following
this, the government utilized the opportunity equip it banks with power to act
as catalyst in development by operating like an all purpose universal bank to
