in the process of economic growth and
development.
Iwu Eze A. (1986) in a paper presented in
on entrepreneurship development in Nigeria,
said that a entrepreneur is a contractor
an organizer of an enterprise for
the public a resourceful person with a dream.
entrepreneur are bold men and woman
who have initiative and the ability to
lead, manage and take the consequences. They
are men of action, risk takers, missioners,
creative and highly respected of their ability
to effectively and efficiently concubine
the functions of management to
achieve the goals.
He
also noted that during colonial period only
few of Nigerians could boast of personal or
family capital to start off any meaningful
business and hence the next
place of call for business and financial
was bank. It is a well known flat
that banking operations during the
colonial were highly and sparsely limited
urban centers. The bank at that time existed
to serve internets of the colonial civil
servants who had appreciated income to
warrant banking transaction Nigerians who
had no collaterals or big financials to guarantee
their loans could not help on banks
to stat off any business.
During the colonial era the Nigerian
business seen was dominated even at the
grassroots lends by inclines, Greeks,
Ghanaians, Sierra Loninas and others.
These foreign nationals had a better
exposition from the Nigerians and with this
advantages, it was easy to dislodge them
when the colonials left the scene in 1960. then,
in other to give Nigerians an
opportunity in participating and shaping
their country economic future introduced
indigenization and enterprise promotion dance
of 1972 and it’s revision in 1977.
the objective was to foster economic self
reliance and maximize external intervention in politics.

were introduced and also in July 1986
SAP (structural adjustment programme)
was introduced . entrepreneurship constitutes a vital

operation etc..
According to Ani N.B ( 1999,5 , 7)
said that entrepreneurship started when people
produced more products than they needed and
a such , had who also these surpluses
with others who also wanted to
dispose of their surpluses . for instance , if
a black smith produced more hoes than
he needed he exchanged the surplus he
had with what he specialization . this
process is known as trade by barter before
the advent of any form of money.
Modern entrepreneurship in Nigeria
started with coming of the colonial masters
and during the era, Nigeria was not
their own masters . an entrepreneur
often needs starting capital, which is
normally small and derived from personal
savings or from family sources
Concrete attempts at encouraging the
growth and development of entrepreneurship
have led to the establishment of some
government agencies as industrial development
(I.D) , Small scale industry corporation[S S I C]
Nigeria bank for commerce and industries [N B C]
, national economic reconstruction fund (NERFUNA)
directorate of foods, roads and rural
development [DFRN] etc.
All these have been made to
ensure the substance and growth of small
and medium scale enterprises in the country.
