THE ROLES OF
SMALL SCALE INDUSTRIES IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
It is an
undisputable fact that Nigeria of the pre-independence era was predominately
small scale in its productions and marketing activities. Industrial revolution
brought about a shift from the orthodox trade by barter to a more sophisticated
marketing system where consumers satisfaction becomes the ultimate goal of the
most businesses. Thus small scale business becomes the next option since they
stood a better chance of offering a moreÂ
personal relationship with customers as well as socio economic
satisfactions of societal needs.
Unfortunately
the  over concentration on t he oil
sector which Nigeria hoped will boost
economic growth led to the negligence of the small scale industries until
economic depression set in during the
oil boom period. This and other factors led to the  quest for private participation in the
various economic sectors through the Small Scale Industries especially in the
present civilian government where the Industrial Development Centres (IDCS
)Â haveÂ
embarked upon a loan scheme for
small business to enhance their contribution to national economic development.
The question now is, will small scale contributes to nation’s economic development? One might wonder if this will
be realistic, but it is quite obvious that Nigeria as a country developing very slow due to economic
dependency of the country. It therefore becomes apparent that the way out of
the problem lies within Nigeria. What are found in Nigeria are basically the
large scale operations which have given the most contributions to the economy
of the developed nations across the globe. One would therefore questioned the
backwardness of small scale business to government negligence of the small
industries. Nevertheless the immense contributions of small scale industries in
terms of increased industrial output
job creation, improvement of standard of livening and general economic
development has reawakened government interest and support on these small scale industries.
1.1Â Â Â
 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE CASE
STUDY
It is
against this background that the next generation computers wasÂ
established on the 15th February
2000 to boost the computer industry without which Nigeria economy development
cannot be fully achieved. The firm which started with capital base of one
Hundred Thousand Naira (N100,000) with
the owners as the manager and noÂ
organizational structure deals with booth computer hardware and software.
The services
rendered by the organization include Typing, photocopying, internet services,
computer assembling supply and installation of computers maintenance and
training of manpower through apprenticeship. The firm has so far been able to
meet the needs of business organization’s and individuals within Kaduna
North.
Nextgen
computers as it is popularly know hasÂ
over three hundred (300)customers patronizing the business today and they have ten 10 trainees
which is the maximum number accepted by the firm in order to ensure they are given adequate and standard
training and a lot of students have Â
graduated from the school since inception. Each apprentice pays
some amount of money. Those on certificate
course pay five thousand Naira (N5,000), while the diploma course worth twelve thousand naira
(N12,000.00), the mode of payment can beÂ
done instalmentally. The certificate course is  underÂ
taken for a period of six months
while the diploma course  takes a period of one year for completion. Finally the firm is still at its growth stage and
it trying its best to improve and expand its cervices so as to contribute greatly to Kaduna and  subsequently Nigeria as a whole.                   Â

1.2Â Â Â
 STATEMENT OF GENERAL PROBLEMS
Small and
enterprises are everywhere in every sector and are seen in every community.
However Nigeria has witness the proliferation of small business aimed at
increasing industrial output and subsequent economic growth and development
through the efficiency of small
scale enterprises.Â
There are
some questions however that should be asked where answers could suggest
solutions to the problem under study.
What is the
relationship between small scale industries and standard of living of Nigeria
businessmen and entire populace?
Is there a
positive correlation between small scale industries and economic development?Â
                                                 Â
                 Â
What is the
position of the small scale enterprises under the computer industry? Are there problems associated
with operation of both hardware and
software?               Â
                                       Â
How do
business owners asses the success or
otherwise?
Does the
success of the small scale industries rest only on the activities of small
scale enterprises or it also depends on some macro economic variables in the
environment?
Does the
success of next generation computer academy guarantee Nigeria’s economic
development? Or is there more to that?
These
questions among others form the foundation upon which the research is built.
1.3Â Â Â
 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The purpose
of this research is to assess the ROLE OF SMALL SCALE INDUSTRIES TO NIGERIA’S
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, other objective include:
i. Assessing
the possible problems which could hinder small business success.
ii. Why some
small business succeed
iii.
Assessing the size and composition of small business, their marketing,
financial, legal and management aspect government intervention an other
environmental factor which are likely to affect the small scale industries. Suggested solutions would be made
necessary after drawing conclusions from the above.
1.4Â Â Â
 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The research
is beneficial to policy makers, Next Generation Computer Academy and the
general public in view of the following revelations.
To policy
makers the research will acquainttem
with the joy and frustration.
To Next
Generation Computer Academy it will expose the strength and or weaknesses of
their operations.
To general
public the research will serve as an asset to students especially those who
intend to be come self employed, lecturers and other researches particularly in
marketing accountancy and business studies.
1.5Â Â Â
 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The study is
restricted to small scale business in the computer industry in Kaduna North and
covers the operations of next generations computer academy from year 2005 till
date.
1.6Â Â Â
 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
Given the
economic hardship in the country and prevailing cost of living it was not easy
to meet up with the financial requirements of the study. Time indeed was another
major consideration with too many things to met up within a short space of time
preparation for test and examination.
In
administering the questionnaires, the respondents were quite cooperative but
some of the respondents have to fill under close supervision to avoid irrelevant answers
especially where the questions were open ended. Another limitation that applied
to this study is the fact that the study focuses on Next Generation computer alone and the sample for
the study restricted to Kaduna North LocalÂ
Government area only.
It is
however hoped that these characteristics of customers be further confirmed in
other areas within the country to enable a comprehensive review of some of the recommendations.
