CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
The successive development plans of Nigeria have laid emphasis on the attainment of self-reliance. The need for this national objective is because much is expected from individuals from the view point of providing employment opportunities self-reliance in basic food and material production, high per capital income, foreign exchanging earnings and the production of industrial raw materials.
Customers are increasingly complaining about inaccurate information, irresponsible, rude or poorly trained personnel and long wait time. However, Owuola (1997), view on change as the important of small scale industries in promoting industrialization and economics growth has shown that: small scale industries have in many countries provided the mechanism for stimulating.
Indigenous entrepreneurship, enhancing greater employment opportunities per unit of capital invested and aiding the development of local technology.
(Erik 1986; World bank 1995), they help to mobilize saving for investment and the use of local raw material though their dispersal nationwide, contribute to move distribution of income among individuals and regions as well as mitigate rural-urban and contribute to the strength of commercial banks.
Ekenyong and Nyong (1992) observed that small scale industries hold the key to industrialization, economic development creation for our teaming youth, the high crime rate in our community today is traceable to an extend to unemployment therefore, any scheme that could help to address this social problem cannot be over looked. To be able achieve this laudable objectives it become necessary for government and financial policy to encourage subsector of this financial efforts in Nigeria include: Nigerian National Enterprises (NNE), National Agency for Poverty Eradication Programs (NAPEP), Nigerian Agricultural and Rural Development Bank (NARDB).
The bedrocks of development in any nation are the small scale industries, the live wire of any business is funding. While the most important source of business funding is the bank.
The important of small scale industries (SSI’s) in order to achieve sustainable industrial development was realized, this is why financial arrangement for small scale industries have undergone several stages of metamorphosis these include: the establishment of the Nigerian Industrial Development Bank (NIDB) in 1971, the formation of Nigerian Bank for commerce and industries (NBCT) in 1973, and acquisition of the NIDB’s controlling interest by the federal government in 1976. ( Olashore, 1987 ).
One of the major hurdles militating against the expansion of small scale industries is lack of financial resources, the mobilization of financial resources requires an institutional framework which encourages mobilization of fund from the financial sector (surplus) to the real or productive sector (deficit).
The government believe that the dynamic and growing small Scale industries manufacturing sub-sector can contribute to the implementation of a wide range of development objective has enunciated various policies to encourage their proliferation and make them veritable engines of growth and development (obitayo, 1991).
Commercial Banks as financial intermediaries are therefore the major relevant financial institutions in most developing countries which encouraged and mobilized savings and also channel savings in to productive investment.
The last two decades in Nigeria have witnessed a switch of emphasis to the small scale industries, Banks plays a crucial role in the development of these industries. Traditionally, Banks are catalyst for economic development intervention in the form of financial subsidies or guarantees the bank represents the only source of finance that can complement often inadequate savings of small scale industries.

Yet not all banks have invested to provide superior services to all their customers faced with the ever increasing competition, advancement and privatization as well as the recent consolidation of the banking sector by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Banks are moving towards expansion of powers (product offering) example the higher interest deposit account by the Diamond bank a (HIDA) acquiring power such as securities break age and expanding new retail financial services.
