ABSTRACT
This research work centers on the power supply and the performance of small and medium scale industries in Nigeria from 1999 – 2013. carrying out this study, secondary data were collected and empirical analysis was made to achieve these objectives, multiple regression were used in anglicizing the data. In investigating this problem, the researcher introduces 2 hypotheses that power supply changes has no significant in Nigerian econometric mode were used for evaluation and testing of the hypothesis. The researcher made use of the ordering least square (OLS). The out come of the model shows and confirms that power supply changes has a negative impact on Nigerians. And that a unit change in power supply has a positive impact on both the gross domestic product and balance of payment in Nigeria. Based on the findings, certain recommendations were made which include government increasing its efforts in tackling the issue of corruption and fraud.
