1    INTRODUCTION
The Nigerian capital market has always played a significant role in the economic growth and development of the nation. In time of economic boom, it assisted in the provision of finances for expansion, retooling and establishment of production facilities.

However, the non-completion or underutilization in cases where some of them are fully executed of these projects amounts to a waste of scares services resources under the government industrialization program, consideration are given to the small and medium scaled enterprises (SME) which form the center of the industrial development of the country. Unfortunately, the SME’s are only living in the shadows of large business for so long hence their importance as roots to the economic health of a nation have been forgotten. The problems of SME’s ranges from improper policies which have been constitutes by the authorities guiding them to the problems as well as the Nigeria citizen with regards to foreign products as well as the problems of finance for the formation and sustenance or SME’s.
