The discourse seeks to investigate how the development banks sector has imparted immensely into the growth and development of small industries. Also ascertaining whether small scale industries have any significant impact on the growth of Nigeria economy. In using analysis provided in this research work I ascertained robust evidence that development bank industries has no positive and significant input on the economic growth of small scale industry recommendations were also made that would help to improve further the performance of development banks on the economic growth of the small scale industry and the economic as a whole.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The manufacturing industry teaches our daily life since the product (Raw material) converted into finished goods; create substitution for imported goods abroad which in term generate employment and income for the citizenry, but with the economy of a state going through a difficult period due to nonchalant attitude of banks in financing small industry. Bank prefers to pay the penalties imposed on them by the monetary authorities (CBN) to financing manufacturing industries. The plan ahead through efficient financing by some bank and effective checks by some government representative to ensure that the money granted to them (SI) will not be jeopardized by inefficient management.
This study therefore focuses among other issues the problem encountered by bank which hamper their financing of small industry, and this is mostly the cash flow position of industrialist (SI). The cash flow position of small industry also militate them for further application for verdict and financial support from various financial institutions.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Following the increase economic activities in Nigeria, Commercial banks which have been established to provide their customers with short term loans can no longer meet up with dutiess of providing medium. At this point in time the monetary authority and the federal government saw the need to create a bank that will cater for the need of people living in rural and urban areas and those who want to invest on capital projects.
Development banking has not performed satisfactorily area of capital projects and promotional activities to stimulate interest among their customers on new projects which the bank consider necessary and profitable.
This can be attributed to in equate capital base, the high rate of interest charged on loans borrowed and high cost of building houses. Now initiatives are therefore needed to tackle these problems.
