ABSTRACT
This research is aimed at small-scale industries development in Anambra state: problems and prospects. Small-scale industries are those industries that are privately owned by its owners in a purely personalized way without a formalized management structure. Small-scale industries are needed for speedy growth and development especially for abilities to boost the larger industries, social infrastructure, agriculture etc. Small-scale enterprises are however faced with a lot of problems. It is against this background that this project is undertaken to take a critical look at small-scale industries in Awka and Nnewi. In chapter one which is the introduction, the researcher discussed the statement of the problem, purpose, significance of the study, research questions, hypothesis, scope and definition of terms. Chapter two dealt much on various literature review, problems and prospects and summary of the literature review. Chapter three reviewed the methodology of data collection. Chapter four shows how data was collected, presented the summary, conclusions, recommendations, and references.
Finally, my opinion based on the findings of this project, small-scale business is the mainstay of the Nigerian economy, providing almost seventy percent (70%) of employment to the society in the Anambra state.
