Abstract:
In both developed and developing countries, the government is turning to small and medium scale industries and entrepreneurs, as a means of economic development and a veritable means of solving problems. It is a seedbed of innovations, inventions and employment. Entrepreneurship is as old as Nigeria and had contributed to the growth of the economy. Presently in Nigeria, SMEs assist in promoting the growth of the country’s economy, hence all the levels of government at different times have policies which promote the growth and sustenance of SMEs. This paper identifies the orientation of SME’s and entrepreneurial trends in Nigeria, tackles the operational definition and scopes, and describes the role of the Nigerian government as a participant, regulator and facilitator, both legally and politically in the growth of SMEs and entrepreneurship. It identifies the marketing problems of SMEs and entrepreneurships in Nigeria, the provision and enactment of beneficial and supportive laws, the provision of infrastructural facilities, constant man-power and development, direct financial assistance to SMEs and the establishment of finance institutions to support SMEs. It identifies the roles of SMEs in Nigeria’s development and growth. It discusses the entrepreneurial thoughts, problems and advance practical marketing solution. It concludes by clearly specifying the role of marketing to the survival of SMEs and entrepreneurship in Nigeria, and relevant recommendations. For SMEs to survive marketing practice and principles must be given prominence.

Abstract:
In a quest to promoting the development of entrepreneurship and small businesses in Nigeria, government in 2006 approved the total commitment of higher institutions in providing entrepreneurship education to Nigerian students by making entrepreneurship a compulsory course for all students irrespective of their disciplines. This paper examined the role of higher institutions in promoting entrepreneurship and small business in Nigeria. A critical review of entrepreneurship education in Nigeria reveals that the programme has helped in instilling and reviving entrepreneurial spirits in the minds of Nigerians, thereby encouraging and providing individuals with career options, self-sustenance, and self-reliance. This paper has also highlighted the challenges and concerns that threaten the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education in Nigeria. The paper recommends that entrepreneurship education should be introduced at the primary and secondary levels of the Nigerian educational sector as this will further boost the urge and drive for entrepreneurial practice and career option.

Abstract:
Women entrepreneurs have attracted the attention of organizations, policy makers and researchers as they have been identified as an important unexploited source of economic growth and development. The objective of this research is to contribute knowledge about women entrepreneurship in Nigeria and their motivations for entrepreneurship especially on MSMEs level. An empirical survey was conducted with cross-sectional data collected via questionnaire from 422 selected women respondents in six states each representing a geo-political zone in Nigeria using stratified sampling technique. Respondents are engaged in micro, small or medium enterprises in Nigeria. The study results provide strong determinant of women entrepreneurship in Nigeria. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) was employed as tools for testing hypotheses using SmartPLS 2. Findings revealed that the determinant of women entrepreneurship varies by life experiences and country. The study further discovered that a lot of women were motivated by the need for survival, family traits, education and skills, independence and need for achievement respectively in Nigeria. The study recommended that the Nigerian government should encourage women more in entrepreneurial activities and provide sound conducive business environment for women through provision of infrastructural facilities such as entrepreneurial training and skills, finance, infrastructures and credit facilities that will enhance women’s participation more in business.

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the challenges faced by Nigerian university graduates youths, in finding suitable employment or in embarking on entrepreneurship ventures.Design/methodology/approachThe research investigates the barriers to graduate employment and entrepreneurship in Nigeria starting from the hypothesis that there are other factors besides scarcity of jobs responsible for unemployment in Nigeria. Data from two qualitative research activities were analysed and the results tested, to determine the extent to which the research findings supported the initial hypothesis.FindingsThe findings confirm the researcher’s hypothesis that there are a number of factors, the two main ones being poor government policy and investment in education and low skills and technical incompetence of graduates, which constitute barriers to employment and entrepreneurship in Nigeria.Practical implicationsThe findings are clear on the urgency to revisit the Nigerian education and skills curricula and its capacity to facilitate employment and entrepreneurship, and government policy-making in this regard.Originality/valueThis study bases its recommendations for addressing Nigeria’s high graduate unemployment on empirical direct engagement with the primary stakeholder, that is, the Nigerian graduate. It clearly identifies that it is not merely scarcity of jobs but a myriad of factors requiring the urgent attention of both public and private sectors that constitute barriers to graduate employment and entrepreneurship in Nigeria.

Abstract:
Poverty is one of the supreme challenges in Nigeria. This paper explores entrepreneurship in agriculture as a strategy for a drastic reduction in unemployment and poverty in Nigeria. Agriculture creates employment opportunities to 70% -75% of the Nigerian working population and contributes about 20.9% of Nigeria’s total gross domestic product. Yet, young educated and ambitious Nigerians do not show much interest in agriculture. Currently, Nigerian farmers are elderly, toiling away with outdated techniques and tools. Not only are these old farmers unlikely to use latest technologies that guarantee rewards in agriculture and afford a modern lifestyle. The youth believe that career in agriculture would “condemn” them to a “backwards”, “dirty” lifestyle associated with the elderly “uneducated” farmers currently performing physical arduous backbreaking farm work. Meanwhile, the educated and ambitious youth struggle almost hopelessly to find employment in the few highly esteemed sectors, such as the civil service, banking, engineering, medicine and law. This paper persuades youths to take up a career in the agricultural sector through entrepreneurship activities; the paper tells stories of successful educated young entrepreneurs in agriculture. Some young successful educated and ambitious agri-preneurs are identified and their stories are told. These agri-preneurs are potential role models (i.e., people whose achievements in agricultural entrepreneurship the youths can emulate/imitate). The paper advises youths to start small with simple straightforward projects capable of producing cash rewards in the short-term and to look out for the several government and UN grants opportunities that encourage agropreneurship. Before launching their enterprises, aspiring agri-preneurs are counselled to avail themselves of training and apprentice opportunities from successful agri-preneurs.

Abstract:
Purpose: This study investigates the effect of strategic intent on the performance of small and medium scale printing firms in Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, Nigeria. Methods: The population of the study included all the small and medium scale printing press in Abuja which is 226 and the sample size of 68. A multiple regression model was formulated to estimate the effect of strategic intent (vision, mission, and objectives) on performance (growth) of small and medium scale printing press firms in Abuja. The study also adopted a control variable such as finance to have a better coefficient of determination. Findings: The study found that strategic intent had a positive and significant effect on the growth of small and medium scale printing press firms in Nigeria. The study also found that finance (collateral, access to finance, and insufficient finance) had a negative and insignificant effect on the growth of small and medium scale printing press firms in Nigeria. Implication: Small and medium printing press firms in Abuja, FCT should communicate their vision, mission statement, and objectives to their employees. The microfinance banks in collaboration with the central bank of Nigeria should minimize collateral conditions in obtaining microcredit from microfinance banks.

Abstract:
We determine how Microfinance Banks (MFBs) impacts on entrepreneurship development in Nigeria. Data were collected through structured interview from entrepreneurs, Microfinance Bank managers and Regulators. The finding revealed that non-financial services of Microfinance Banks contribute to the survival of entrepreneurs and there is indication that Microfinance Banks enhance the productivity of entrepreneurship. This finding supports the evidence from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) that there is an increase in total assets, Investment and Deposit Liabilities of MFBs in recent times. Beside this, respondents claimed that influence and control over entrepreneurships financing by Microfinance Banks should be view as partially effective. This result suggest that although Microfinance Banks in Nigeria are trying their best, there is need to put more effort in order to meet total demand of financing the entrepreneurships in Nigeria. We recommend that MFBs should assist their clients by providing training on credit utilization and the government should urgently tackle the problem of infrastructure development and maintenance.

Abstract:
Entrepreneurship education has great success in the field of education. Its activity has increased significantly in the USA, Asian and European countries during the last decades. Nevertheless, the training programme in developing countries like Nigeria has concentrated more on teaching knowledge and skills basically in principle. Products of these training are expected to be engaged in either self-employment or being employed. Unfortunately, the Niger-delta region of Nigeria is characterized by high levels of youth restiveness, unemployment, poverty and crime. Attempting to solve these ill, the questionnaire titled Entrepreneurship Education and Students challenges (EESC) was used to gather data from eight hundred and sixty-four students sampled from faculty of education and social sciences in Niger-delta region universities of Nigeria. The study identified various challenges, prospects and government efforts aimed at building the entrepreneurship culture among undergraduate students of Nigerian Universities especially graduates of the Niger-delta region. The study concluded by postulating certain recommendations which if adopted will drastically reduce the social vices faced in this region.

Abstract:
Nigerian government through its various agencies, World Bank, nongovernmental organizations, and even private philanthropists, has recently resorted to committing a lot of resources to training and empowering the youths in various entrepreneurships. This is done with the aim of enhancing creation of jobs, reduction of poverty, and generation of income both to individuals and government thereby bringing about economic diversification which will help reduce overdependence on government and oil revenue, hence leading to economic growth and development. While these initiatives are steps in the right direction, this study therefore empirically examined whether empowering the youths has significantly contributed to the growth of entrepreneurship thereby leading to economic diversification in Nigeria using the Nigeria Enterprise Survey Data (2014) and applying the multinomial logistic regression model. It was found among others that almost all the variables used to capture entrepreneurship growth and development in Nigeria were statistically significant except for tax rates, transportation cost, and land access (comparing micro and large enterprises with the small-scale enterprise) and tax rates, subsidy, and land access (comparing medium enterprise with small-scale enterprise). It was recommended among others that governments at all levels and its various agencies, World Bank, nongovernmental organizations, and even private philanthropists, need to do more on entrepreneurship training programs of youths. The training should be accompanied with sustained financial and nonfinancial support and monitoring the business activities of these entrepreneurs after empowering them.

Abstract:
This research set out to analyze the women entrepreneurs and survival of small–scale enterprises in Nigeria. The objective of this paper is to determine the extent of women entrepreneurs and survival of SSEs in Nigeria. One Hundred and Twenty Eight (128) questionnaires were retrieved for analysis. Data collected were analyzed using multiple regressions. The results revealed that Women entrepreneurs experience and women entrepreneurs’ level of education have significant effect on the survival of small scale enterprises in Nigeria. The study therefore, concluded that an increase in training or improvement in the activities of women entrepreneurship will lead to a significant increase in the maintenance and sustainability of SSEs in Nigeria. This paper recommended that since, women entrepreneurs experience and high level of education led to the survival of SSEs in Nigeria therefore, the Nigerian government should provide an avenue for adequate funding, training on entrepreneurship, provision of infrastructural facilities and enabling environment in order to enhance the women entrepreneurial activities as this would translate to increase in an income generation, provision of employment and reduction of poverty in Nigeria. Keywords: Entrepreneurship, Women Entrepreneurs, Small Scale Enterprises, Women Entrepreneurship and Survival.

Abstract:
The significant contributions of female entrepreneurs to both the social and economic development of their various countries have been recognized over the past two decades. The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) found that between 17 and 41 percent of the female adult population set up new businesses in developing economies. However, these females owning businesses in developing economies generally exhibit limited aspirations for growth, with 84.6 percent of the female entrepreneurs indicating that they expect to add fewer than five employees in the coming five years. Moreover, most of the literature on female entrepreneurs in developing economies has focused on the business start-up phase; limited knowledge exists on the post start-up phase. This study addresses this gap by using institutional theory to investigate the development of businesses run by female entrepreneurs in Nigeria. Qualitative interviews were used to collect data from Nigerian female entrepreneurs. The data gathered was analysed using the thematic method. The finding reveal ways in which Nigerian female entrepreneurs transform their creative ideas into products and services that have potential for growth. Nigerian female businesses exhibit growth characteristics through the concern they have for quality and reputation, organizational design, earlier preparation for business growth, response to changes in technology and strong commitment to business success. The major factors facilitating the development of businesses run by Nigerian female entrepreneurs are membership of clubs and societies, a supportive husband, operating from home as well as their network affiliation with their relatives, friends, professionals, religious groups and NGOs. The factors inhibiting the development of businesses run by female entrepreneurs in Nigeria include poor savings culture, inappropriate business practice, lack of qualified artisan workers, lack of honest and reliable staff, balancing business and family, high-based thinking and fear of pseudo growth. The thesis contributes to the institutional theory framework through the addition of components in three key areas: funding barriers (such as female entrepreneurs in polygamous home, lack of ethical mortgage arrangements, lack of inheritance right by women and loan officers’ perception on women lifestyle), profitability (such as high import and export taxes on raw materials, high cost of transportation and illegal fees charges by government officials), and networking (such as support from NGOs and religious bodies). Methodologically, the present study adds to the growing body of qualitative research in entrepreneurship notably to our understanding of the issues that female small business owners in Nigeria face in sustaining and growing their businesses. The current study has practical implications for policy makers and female entrepreneurs. Areas for further research are also identified.

Abstract:
The study examines an aspect of indigenous Nigerian entrepreneurship, focusing on the cross-border trade in South-Western Nigeria. An almost total ignorance of how the traders go about their business, coupled with an unwelcoming trading environment, appear to have caused the antipathy of policy planners, and dearth of academic research in the area. The dearth of research is of particular concern here hence the need to "go back to basics", as it were, and focus the research in the first instance, on what the trade is in fact all about. The study focuses therefore on a descriptive analysis of the cross-border trade itself as an indigenous exporting activity, in particular the role of the small businesses who, in numerical terms at least, dominate the trade. It is expected that this will lead to future, more sector and area-specific studies on the subject. The cross-border trade takes place in an environment of illegality, corruption, and an unstable local economy, which makes trading conditions difficult, and would ordinarily seem to prevent traders from exercising their enterprise other than for mere survival on the economic fringes. Policy planners are also quick to argue that the trade is merely a smugglers' arena that contributes nothing to national development and in fact needs to be eliminated in aid of the development process. These reinforce the development literature which envisages only a limited role for indigenous entrepreneurship in economic development. The findings in this study however suggest another interpretation. It is argued that the trading environment as it is in fact provides opportunities which seem to have encouraged the emergence of an entrepreneurial class, and that though largely invisible, greater capital accumulation than is usually thought appears to be taking place, suggesting a more significant role for indigenous entrepreneurs in the development process. Between chapters 1 and 5, a case is presented for why existing trade and development theories have only a limited application to the development process in less developed countries like Nigeria. Chapters 6 and 7 introduce the surveys which indicate the performance and strategy of a sample of producers and traders. Subsequently relying mainly, but not exclusively on anthropologically-oriented material, the study focuses, in chapters 8 and 9, on the actors and activities in three cross-border trade routes, exploring the ways in which the traders relate to one another and to other participants in the trade. Further attention is paid to the ways in which the trade survives, evolves and develops, in spite of considerable environmental difficulties. While the study does not dispute that there are several smugglers and other law-breakers in the cross-border trade traffic, it argues further that considerable legitimate, but unrecorded trade goes on across the borders by several dedicated producers and traders. Certain theoretical implications arising from the study are discussed as areas for further study, while other, more practical recommendations, are suggested to policy planners, which may be beneficial both to them and to the traders in the future developments of the trade.

Abstract:
As the innovation systems approach becomes increasingly transferred from developed to developing countries as a framework for achieving increased productivity, the notion of deficient institutions becomes more important. Prior research on innovation systems has adopted a broad treatment of institutions that has resulted in an omission of the impact that deficient institutions have on implementing innovation. Towards providing a treatment of institutions that is more specific and by extension, accounts for the impact of deficient institutions within developing country innovation systems, this thesis on the account of both the personcentric characteristic of the entrepreneur and the entrepreneur’s ability to deal with uncertainty focused on answering the research question: How do entrepreneurs deal with deficient institutions in developing country innovation systems in order to introduce innovation? By considering the context of the Nigerian film industry innovation system, this thesis showed that entrepreneurs dealt with the deficient institutions by substituting them with informal institutions during their interactions with Nigerian actors, and with formal institutions that looked to be external to the Nigerian environment when interacting with international actors. In addition to this, the decision to use these institutions was seen to have been influenced by both the situations that the entrepreneurs faced and their personal experiences personal experiences. By showing this, the thesis contributed to the literature on innovation systems by providing a more nuanced understanding of institutions in comparison with what previously existed. Another contribution was the introduction of agency (through analytical focus on the entrepreneur) within innovation systems research.

Abstract. Over the past decades, the world has witnessed a rapid growth in female entrepreneurship. More women are starting businesses and contributing to both economic and social development globally. According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) 2015 report, females are reported to have contributed about 20 trillion usd in annual consumer spending and this figure is expected to rise to about 28trillion in the next few years. Several literatures conducted about female entrepreneurs in developed economies indicate that females have been starting businesses at a higher rate more than the men. However, little is relatively known about businesses owned by women in developing economies. This thesis addresses this gap by investigating female entrepreneurs in developing economies using Nigeria as a case study. Nigeria was chosen because of the size of the economy and her position as one of the leading developing countries on the globe. A total of six female entrepreneurs were chosen for this research. From the findings of this thesis, factors such as previous experience in running a business, level of education and training and different level of motivation are essential to female entrepreneurship in Nigeria. Similarly, other factors that could adversely affect creation of businesses by female entrepreneurs include lack of access to finance and inadequate infrastructure

Abstract:
Transnational entrepreneurship is a process by which individuals pursue entrepreneurial objectives between two countries they are socially embedded in, by leveraging resources in their possession across both societies in ways which most effectively suit the enterprises. At the turn of the century the wave of globalization has swept through every corner of the world, people moving countries in search of employment opportunities or other reasons such as education. Through these life experiences individuals experience new cultures, society and acquire new knowledge. In turn entrepreneurial minded individuals start business on the interface of their home and host countries by leveraging resources available to them on both ends. In this thesis transnational entrepreneurship in Nigeria is studied to understand its influence on business creation and its economic impacts within a developing country. The perspective of transnational entrepreneurship in a developing African country is the focal point. Taking into consideration the lack of study of transnational entrepreneurship from a developed country to a developing African country. Therefore, Nigeria is chosen as an ideal country to investigate considering the size of its economy and position within the African continent. Therefore, three Nigerian transnational entrepreneurs’ activities are studied to tackle the research problem. According to the findings of this study. The motivation of transnational entrepreneurs to operate in Nigeria is their intention to influence the level of the country’s economic development. The resources transnational entrepreneurs possess sets them out based on their understanding of two environments and ability to align their activities to avoid institutional challenges as well as maximizing potential. Secondly, the possession of advance educational background and exposure to highly skilled network within industries aids the successful creation of such businesses which in turn open a channel for local community to tap into international networks.

Abstract:
Nigerian entrepreneurs face government barriers and lack the skills and awareness needed for successfully creating and scaling public value in resource-constrained environments. The concept of bricolage, which involves doing business by making do with resources at hand, has been addressed in the literature, but not as it occurs among Nigerian entrepreneurs. This study was conducted with the aim of narrowing this gap in knowledge by exploring how Nigerian entrepreneurs have successfully carried out their businesses. The research question addressed how Nigerian entrepreneurs overcame critical situations to successfully address the challenges of scaling and creating public value, and whether the theory of entrepreneurial bricolage can support their actions. A qualitative descriptive single case study with a purposeful sample of 22 interview respondents was employed. A total of 145 critical incidents were analyzed by fitting them into themes constructed a priori from the known behavioral patterns that emerged through the theoretical taxonomy of the concept of entrepreneurial bricolage. The results showed that Nigerian entrepreneurs made do with the resources at hand, improvised, and invoked stakeholder participation and persuasion to solve critical challenges of business continuity. The outcome of the research should help potential entrepreneurs determine strategies to scale their ideas or innovations to achieve positive social change. The results may be useful to any fledgling entrepreneur who needs encouragement when feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of doing business in Nigeria. Budding entrepreneurs can learn from the experiences of those who are deemed successful in their businesses, thereby avoiding challenges when they can and strategizing for those challenges that are unavoidable.

Abstract:
Nigerian policy is inconsistent with regard to the promotion of entrepreneurship among young adults in Anambra State that would serve as a guide to becoming self-employed. Most young adults in Anambra State lack information on entrepreneurial characteristics to become self-employed. The issues confronting Anambra State as a result of youth unemployment include increase in crime rate, drug abuse, kidnapping, and suicide rate. Guided by the human capital theory, the purpose of this case study was to explore the entrepreneurship strategies that young adults in Anambra State needed to become self-employed after graduating from universities. Twenty youth entrepreneurs participated in the individual interviews, 5 participated in a focus group, and 5 policymakers participated in another individual interview. Data were coded and analyzed using Yin's 5 step procedure involving compiling, assembling, analysing, dissembling and repeating the entire process three times until the themes emerged. The emerging themes were mentorship, vocational training, and ad-hoc programs. These findings revealed that youth who participated in these programs (mentorship, vocational training and ad-hoc) obtained entrepreneurial strategies and consequently ran more profitable enterprises than those who did not. The implications for positive social change include recommendations to policymakers to expand the mentoring program among young adults and introduce vocational education that could enhance employment rate, thereby improving the standard of living, and create educational programs for university students with the expectation that upon graduation they may be able to develop businesses that may lead to the creation of employment and empower young entrepreneurs towards national growth and development.

Full text
Abstract:
This research focuses on the role of financial intermediation in entrepreneurship financing in Nigeria using six states in the South-West of Nigeria as a major case study. The relevant literature suggests that a deepening financial intermediation would help to improve entrepreneurship financing for sustainable economic growth. The research adopted descriptive statistics, econometric techniques at the micro and at the macro levels. Four hypotheses and four models were adopted. The research uses qualitative choice and OLS econometric techniques to estimate entrepreneurship financing, the entrepreneurship finance gap, and entrepreneurship growth as models 1, 2, and 3 respectively at the micro level and tested hypotheses 1, 2, and 3. The fourth model conducted cointegration techniques on the time series data from 1980-2009 to estimate the long run and Granger causal relationship between entrepreneurship financing and financial intermediation at the macro level and tested hypothesis 4. The results of the descriptive statistics are consistent with the literature that financial intermediation, age, firm size, previous loans, firm age, experience and employment, among others, are significant to entrepreneurship financing. The micro level results show a significant relationship between financial intermediation and entrepreneurship financing on the one hand, and the finance gap and entrepreneurship growth on the other. The results however show that the employment variable in the model appears not significant. The alternative hypotheses 1, 2, and 3 were upheld. The normalised long-run co-integrating equation supported by the short-run dynamics indicates that financial intermediation, interest rate, real gross domestic product, unemployment and industrial productivity are significant to entrepreneurship financing. The results upheld the alternative hypothesis 4 and also show a uni-directional Granger causal relationship. The overall results suggest that financial intermediation has a long-run relationship with entrepreneurship financing policy in Nigeria. The research recommends the formulation of effective policies to strengthen financial intermediation to provide entrepreneurship financing in Nigeria. The research also recommends that monetary authorities should intervene indirectly by reducing Monetary Policy Rates (MPR) which will directly reduce the transaction cost of funds to entrepreneurship and industrial sectors. In addition, the government should review the development plans on entrepreneurship and MSMEs financing in line with global trends.

Abstract:
The inadequacy of entrepreneurial knowledge among 21-25 year olds in Nigeria with recent undergraduate degrees has led to youth unemployment after graduating from universities. The development of entrepreneurship skills through entrepreneurship education programs for the students in tertiary institutions in Nigeria may bridge the unemployment gap. Guided by the theory of planned behavior, the purpose of this exploratory multiple case study was to gain a robust common understanding of how undergraduates from 21-25 years old can obtain the entrepreneurial knowledge required for self-employment in Nigeria. Data collection involved semistructured interviews, field notes, and archived training documents, with a purposeful sample of 15 undergraduate degree holders over 21 years old, who had been self-employed, in different industries and possessed entrepreneurial knowledge and experiences. Using Yin's 5 step data analysis process, member checking, and triangulation resulted in the emergence of codes, themes, and categories. The key themes were knowledge of business management, identification of business opportunities, information from workshop and seminars, information from social media and customer service, information on innovation, and mentor and mentee relationship. The findings from this study provide the empirical evidence needed to support entrepreneurship education as well as insight on tertiary institutions' commitment to entrepreneurship education that may lead to the creation of employment and empowers entrepreneurs towards national growth and development. The implications for positive social change include reshaping the way undergraduates prepare for self-employment, leading to a reduction of unemployment among youths in Nigeria.

Abstract:
This study is centred on informal entrepreneurship, an age-old economic endeavour and an integral part of economic activity in Zamfara, Nigeria. The aim is to evaluate informal entrepreneurship in terms of its nature and character; the reasons why different groups participate in it; and potential policy measures which could improve the conditions of entrepreneurs in the sector and facilitate the growth of their informal firms, and encourage their voluntary and gradual formalisation. The study adopted a nested two-stage survey method research design for the data collection (household and enterprise surveys). The household survey sample consisted of 75 enumeration areas drawn from nine localities cutting across rural, suburban and urban localities, while the enterprise survey comprised of 215 participants as a sub-sample of the first stage survey. On the nature and character of informal entrepreneurship, the study reveals that this phenomenon is highly heterogeneous and widely spread among different sectors of the economy with a considerable participation by both males and females. Also, empirical evidence from the study suggests the participants were regulated informally by their trade associations, contrary to the conventional belief that the sector is wholly unregulated. Adopting an eclectic theoretical approach, the study provides insights on the drivers of informal entrepreneurship from three theories with wider application in the field: theories of informal economy, institutional theory, and theory of motives of informal entrepreneurship. These are relevant in explaining the rationale for engagement in the activity and suggest the co-existence of multiple logics and the interplay of inter-institutional systems for engaging in informal entrepreneurship. The study further suggests that almost two thirds of informal entrepreneurs (64%) have dual motives at any one time, and that the primary motivation for informal entrepreneurship can change over time, with such changes following the start of an informal enterprise found among almost one-quarter (22%) of the respondents. Another contribution of the study to the literature is its finding that different groups of informal entrepreneurs vary in their characteristics and motives for starting up informal entrepreneurship. The study further suggests that public utilities and infrastructural services were very poor. The participants operated under poor conditions and unfavourable environments with a severe lack of critical resources, such as electricity supply, which seriously affected their productivity and earning capacities. As a way forward, the study proposes a strategic model comprising nine integrated measures that might help to improve the operating conditions facing informal entrepreneurs and facilitate their voluntary and gradual formalisation. Amongst the key measures proposed are favourable regulatory policies; enabling environments; access to critical resources (particularly electricity and finance); provision of incentives for formalisation; and enhanced security of life and property.
