该研究旨在确定创业发展对经济增长的贡献;确定尼日利亚创业发展面临的挑战，并确定尼日利亚创业发展的程度。这项研究是在三角洲州阿萨巴的6家中小型企业中进行的。该研究的人群规模为90人，其中使用Taro Yamane公式在5%的误差容限和95%的置信水平下实现了73人的样本量。数据收集的工具主要是问卷调查和访谈。共分发了78份调查表，收回了65份。本研究采描述性研究设计。使用卡方统计工具对这三个假设进行了检验。研究结果表明，创业发展对经济增长的贡献在于创造就业机会和增加国民收入，而缺乏强有力的专利法和缺乏对创业的基础科学和技术知识是创业发展的挑战。尼日利亚创业发展程度较高。然而，研究报告建议，有必要改变年轻人的心态，接受自雇工作，而不是等待不存在的政府工作，政府有必要设立讲习班，让年轻人和老年企业家可以来学习他们企业所需的新技能。
The study seeks to identify the contributions of entrepreneurial development to economic growth; identify the challenges to entrepreneurial development in Nigeria and to determine the extent of entrepreneurship development in Nigeria. The study was carried out in 6 small and medium scale enterprises in Asaba, Delta state. The study had population size of 90 out which a sample size of 73 was realised using Taro Yamane’s formula at 5% error tolerance and 95% level of confidence. Instrument used for data collection was primarily questionnaire and interview. The total number of 78 copies of the questionnaire were distributed while 65 copies were returned. The descriptive research design was adopted for the study. The three hypotheses were tested using chi square statistical tools. The findings indicate that Job creation and increase in national income are the contributions of Entrepreneurial development to economic growth and that lack of strong patent law and lack of knowledge of entrepreneurship in the basic science and technology constitute the challenges to entrepreneurial development .the extent of entrepreneurial development in Nigeria is high. The study however, recommends that there is need to change the mind set of young people to embrace self-employed job rather than waiting for non-existing government job and there is need for government to set up workshops where young and old entrepreneurs will can come and acquire new skills needed for their businesses Keywords: key words, Entrepreneurial development, Job creation, SMEs Economic growth
