FUNCTIONS AND
ACHIEVEMENTS OF GOVERNMENT SUPPORT AGENCIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF
ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN ENUGU STATE (A CASE STUDY OF NATIONAL DIRECTORATE OF
EMPLOYMENT (N.D.E)
ABSTRACT
Government have set up agencies that are specifically charged
with training the people, providing funds and other services for the promotion
and development of entrepreneurship.
This project work
focused on the functions and achievement of government support agencies in the
development of entrepreneurship in Enugu State with special reference to the
national directorate of employment (NDE).
It is the aim of this research to find out the following, the
functions of the government support agencies especially NDE whether the various
programmes of the NDE has helped to achieve her mandates, whether the growth in
the number of small business or entrepreneurial organization can be attributed
to the established of the government support agency if there is anything that
makes the achievement of the NDE
mandate difficult and to disclose how far the agency have helped those who are
unemployed within the state to gain employment.
The researcher critically looked at some salient literary
work that appear to have some theoretical relevance to the research work and
indicated their strength and weakness and how they impinge on this work.
While conducting this study, the researcher made use of data from both primary and
secondary sources.
The areas of the study is Enugu state where as the population
size and sample size are 1125 and 295 respectively.
The three hypothesis formulated were tested using the chi-square
6c2) statistical formula and it was discovered among other that the
establishment of the NDE has a positive effect impact on entrepreneurship
development in Enugu State.
Finally, one of the major findings was that the government
does not provide enough find for the NDE programmes to enhance efficient and
effective running of the government support agency.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF
THE STUDY
Entrepreneurship started when people began to produce more
products than they required, as such they had to exchange these surplus with
others who also wanted to dispose off their surplus. By this way, producers
came to realize that they can concentrated in their areas of production to
produce more and then exchange with what they needed. Therefore, through this
exchange of products, entrepreneurship started.
According to Schumpeter (1961) Entrepreneurship means doing
new things or doing things that are
already being done in a new way.
Nnenna B.Ani (1999) described entrepreneurship as a creative
and innovative response to the environment such responses can take place in any
field of social endavour, for instance, in business industry, agriculture,
education, social work and the like.
An entrepreneur is different from a manager who only plans
organizes and controls a business idea after it has been successfully initiated
by the entrepreneur”Lawal A.A Et Al (1998), According to Ani Nnnenna B. (1999)
a typically Nigeria entrepreneur is self made man who ,might be said to have
strong will to succeed, he might engage the services of others like friends,
mates, in laws etc to help him in his work or production through this way
Nigerians in the olden days were engaged
in entrepreneurship”. Early entrepreneurship characterized with production or
manufacturing in which case the producer most often started with a small capital,
most of it from his own savings. Early entrepreneurship started with trade by
barter even before the advent of any form of money.
In Nigerian modern entrepreneurship started with the coming
of the Colonial masters, who brought in their wears and made Nigerians
their middlemen. Most of the modern
entrepreneur were engaged in retail trade or sole proprietorship.
One of the major factors that has in many ways discouraged
the flow of entrepreneurship development in this country is the value system brought
about by formal education. For many decades formal education has been the
preserve of the privilege. With formal education, people had the opportunity of
being employed in civil service, because in those days the economy was large
enough to absorb into the prestigious occupation all Nigerians with some form
of formal education. The value system discouraged entrepreneurship in Nigeria for the colonial masters to solve
their goods, because if Nigerians continue to be enterprising, they would not
have had market for their goods. as such, the system made Nigerians to be
depends on the colonial masters to supply her with the needed products.
Again , the contract between Nigerian entrepreneurs and
foreign entrepreneurs during the colonial era was very detrimental and the competitive business strategy of the foreign
entrepreneurs was ruinous and also against moral standards established by the
society. For example, the united African company (UAO) that was responsible for
a sustain percentage of the import and
export trade of Nigerian, has the policy of dealing directly with produced and
refused to make use of the service of Nigeria entrepreneurs. The refusal of the
expatriate to utilize the services of local business man inhibited the
expansion and acquisition of necessary skills and attitude. For this reasons
many eventually folded up. Hose that folded built up a resentment against
business which become very demoralizing to other prospective entrepreneurs. As
a result, the flow of entrepreneurship in the country was slowed down. But with
more people being educated and the fact that government could no longer employ
most school leavers, economy programs to encourage individuals to go into
private business and self reliant were initiated (Theodore Gieger in Nwachukwu
C.C (1990).
In view of the impact of entrepreneurship in improving the
socio-economic conditions of the state, the government have made initiatives to promote indigenous
entrepreneurship in small scale business. According to Lawal A.A 91998:2) typically
actions of the government take the form of policy initiatives and directives to
organization such as ministry of commerce and industry, national directorate of
employment, ministry of labour and productivity, center for management
development, research institutes to act as executing agencies with
responsibility for stimulating, supporting and sustaining entrepreneurship
development.
The researcher believes that a study of the functions as well
as the achievement of the national directorate of employment (NDE) in Enugu
state would help to evaluate the role of government support agencies in
entrepreneurship development within the state.
1.2 STATE,MENT OF
THE PROBLEM.
In Enugu state, various government support agencies have been
set up by the government to assist entrepreneurship development and encourage
the rapid development of small and medium scale industries. These agencies were
established because government owned organization can no longer cope with
employment of graduates and school leavers. Further more, the graduates and
school leavers have to establish their own small business, which will help in
solving the problems of unemployment and economic development.
Therefore, in carrying out this research it is very important
to study the problems listed below.
i. Examine the
mandates for establishing the NDE.
ii. To find out
the programmes put in place by the NDE in order to successfully achieve these
mandates.
iii. Know how
far the NDE has gone in achieving her mandates.
iv. Some
constraints problems which the NDE encounters in their effort to achieve her
goals would be disclosed.
1.3 PURPOSE OF
THE STUDY
The aim of this study is to take a segment of the government
support agencies (NDE) and study her functions and achievement in the
development of entrepreneurship in Enugu state.
Whether the establishment of national directorate of
employment (NDE) has a positive effect impact on entrepreneurship development
in Enugu State or not.
If the programmes of the NDE has helped to achieve her
mandates or not.
Whether the development of entrepreneurship in Enugu state
can be attributed to the establishment of NDE or not.
Come out with findings and subsequent suggestion that would
be of great benefit to other government agencies might be experiencing similar
problems diagnosed in this research.
1.4 SCOPE OF THE
STUDY
The scope of this study is very wide if it has to be carried
out in all the government agencies in Enugu state however, due to certain
constraints which will be stated later in the limitation of study, the
researcher decided that this study concentrate on the promotion and
achievements of the national directorate of employment (NDE) to the development
of entrepreneurship in Enugu state.
