CHAPTER ONE
1.0              INTRODUCTION
1.1       BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
            The rate of economic growth is dependent upon the growth in the factors of production and the rate of technical change.  Recently, some economist have shifted the emphasis away from the increase of physical capital to the expansion of high level manpower such as entrepreneurship development.
            They maintain that the major obstacle to the economic development of developing countries is not so much a shortage of capital as a lack of absorptive capacity in part from shortage of skills and knowledge needed to mobilize, organize and co-ordinate capital and other resources of production.
In view of the above role of entrepreneurship in economic development of any country cannot be over-emphasized.  It is in recognition of these roles that here in Nigeria recent pronouncements by governments, both the privates and banking sectors seem to indicate sudden and increasing realization of the virtues of promoting the growth of business enterprises and indeed the encouragement of potential entrepreneurs.  Efforts are now being made to stimulate the people in to appreciating the impact development of entrepreneurship can have on the national economy.
To start or establish one’s own industry is besieged with many problems.  Many people are seriously contemplating on starting one business or another, many have already done so, some are with the idea and the initial problem while many more have not depressing ends to their initial high hopes.
Investment, without doubt plays a crucial role in economic growth and development.  However, the level of investment in an economy is dependent on four factors, namely:-
(a)                The extent to which current consumption be reduced to realize resources for investment, otherwise known as saving capacity.
(b)               The availability of investment goods required to enable investment take place (the investment capacity)
(c)                The availability of projects, managerial and administrative capacity, skills and infrastructure required for execution of the projects and willingness to harvest.
It is in realization of this obvious fact and its importance to our national economic development that this research stands to attend to.  A thorough study will be carried out to unveil the peculiar factors hindering the development of entrepreneurship.
1.2              STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS
This research study is intended to look into the problems of the development of entrepreneurship.  The problem facing entrepreneurship is as follows:
(i)                 The inability to identify viable and executable projects
(ii)               Capital shortage
(iii)             High decrees of business uncertainty
(iv)             Indifference of financial house and financial risk
(v)               Problem of land acquisition
(vi)             What other factors are identified as a hindrance
1.3              OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
Realizing the role entrepreneurs in our national economic development, it is the view of this study to find out the factors inhibiting the development of entrepreneurship.  The study will therefore do the following
(i)                 Identify the variable that influence entrepreneurial development in a society.
(ii)               Examine the Nigeria society and show to what extent environment and policy discourages the emergence of a vibrant indigenous entrepreneurship.
(iii)             And offer suggestions aimed at creating an enabling environment for the development of entrepreneurship.
1.4              SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
This study will provide an opportunity for any person who may need it to appreciate what entrepreneurship means.  There is no gain saying that it will prefer an immense assistance to potential entrepreneurs through an in-depth analysis of the expected problems that may seem a hindrance.  And to those already managing one enterprise or another, offer possible solutions to their problems.
The study, therefore, provides a useful guide to future researcher who may want to embark on a study like this.
