ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINANTS OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN NIGERIA- A LITERATURE SURVEY

This study is a purely Literature survey, employing thematic analysis of factors of entrepreneurship in Nigeria. It provides an in-depth exploration of the environmental constraints that hinder the development of entrepreneurship, critically examining literature on the fundamental challenges entrepreneurs face, including poor infrastructure, inadequate access to funding opportunities, unstable power supply, and inconsistent government policies in the Nigerian setting. The findings reveal how these challenges contribute to high business failure rates, restrict long-term sustainability, and perpetuate economic underdevelopment. To address these challenges, the paper proposes actionable solutions such as the deliberate improvement of infrastructure, the creation of supportive and consistent government policies, enhanced financial inclusion, and the establishment of frameworks that encourage innovation and risk-taking. The predominant objective is to provide a clearer understanding of how these obstacles can be dismantled in order to foster a more enabling environment for entrepreneurship and, by extension, sustainable economic development in Nigeria.
