CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Nigeria has always been a strategic country in Africa with their enormous economic and political power. Unfortunately, a history of prolong military rule left the nations civil institutions in run. The economy grossly mismanaged, and individual values completely misplaced thus preventing Nigeria from attaining it’s full potential. Consequently, due to this uncertainty, quite a number of investors have been way of doing business in Nigeria and with Nigerians. With the successful transition to civil rule in 1999, the cloud of uncertainty cleared up a bit and in 2003 when the sustainability of it’s democracy was tested, a significant number of investors are expected to be interested in investing in the Nigeria economy.
As a part of its strategies to revive the economy and uplift the standard of living of Nigerians, the government has identified sector within the economy with potential for rapid growth. One of such sectoral strategies in the development of small scale businesses (SSB) is known to encourage people-centred development, which helps in alleviating poverty, creating wealth and employment, and stemming rural-urban drift. However, without finance, SSB cannot be a reality. To alleviate this problem of finance the federal government of Nigeria – set up a number of development Banks.
