| description | Entrepreneurship has become a veritable tool for economic development. It plays a crucial
role in creating jobs, reducing poverty, increasing competition and promoting innovations.
Nigeria is endowed with abundant human and material resources that can be used to build a
strong, virile and prosperous economy. There are bountiful opportunities for entrepreneurship
development especially through micro and small business activities. But unfortunately
entrepreneurship development has been marred with series of problems. There are several
factors militating against entrepreneurial activities which include lack of accessibility for
finance for business start up, inadequate managerial and technical knowledge for sustaining
the business, weak and inadequate infrastructural facilities, lack of government support and
inconsistency of policies for entrepreneurial development. Therefore, the objective of this
study is to identify and examine factors influencing entrepreneurship development at both
individual and aggregate levels in Nigeria. |
