INTRODUCTION

1.1       STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM AND PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

For any country to attain any degree of industrialization, it must have to over-come some series of obstacles and difficulties and it has to depend some how on some financial institutions to facilitate the industrialization.This research work is then designed to investigate the banks participation in the industrial development.  A country becomes famous among other countries of the world when it has been able to attain a remarkable degree of industrialization.

And why some financial institution developed cold feet in participating in industrial development.This, this is an attempt to draw the mind of every Nigeria to this question below.- How far has our country advanced in industrial development through the assistance of bank?
1.2       THE RATIONALE OF THE STUDY
Industrialization means the development of country through industries; A developing country like Nigeria is characterized by a high degree of subsistence production. Whether a country developed or not depends on the existing level of wealth and material welfare. The measure of development of any country is based on its per capital income i.e dividing net national income by the total population to get per capital income.            
The banks has a major role to play the development of any industry and the nation at large. This impact of banks to the industrial development ranges from loan assistance, financial advises and other areas which the bank may assist. That is why it is pertinent to research into industries to know how far they have gone in the development of Enugu State, and suggest more possible ways the bank could help more to our nation
1.3       SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY                        
This study is very important to the industrial development of this country through Bank Participation, since the study focused on its activities. It will help the Management to know the problems faced by industrialists in Nigeria in obtaining funds and see how best to assist in the circumstances like this.            
The industrialists will equally gain from the study to express their own views on how they see the role played by banks to their development in Nigeria.            
Finally, academicians will also gain from the study, it will serve as reference material to them and will enhances their views on industrial growth in Nigeria.
1.4       BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
There are types and classes of banks established to developed respective sectors in the economy and they are developments banks, Commercial banks for Commerce and industries,  Merchant banks, Agricultural development banks and other. Nigeria’s engagement in economic activities is on a subsistence basis e.g Agriculture, Poultry, Fishing, Weaving and Mining etc. These are small and medium Scale industries.The above mentioned banks are given credit guideline by the Central bank of Nigeria (CBN) on how to lend to the industries and these guidelines are not normally adhered to by these banks with reasons. 
The 1972 indigenization decree was necessary so as to direct financial institutions through Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)’s credit guideline to extend certain percentages of their total loans and advances to indigenous borrowers to promote industrialization. Banks have their reasons for inadequate credit to small scale and medium size enterprises like;
(i)     Their attitude towards risk makes them restrictive in their lending policy.
(ii)     Many Small Scale enterprises have all conceived projects in which they have estimate which is often ridiculously valued.Also problem may arise when there are stipulations for small Scale industrialists to meet certain requirements before they are granted loan. 
One of the identified problems with credit facilities more especially the ones obtained from commercial banks to the individualists, it’s short-term nature and high interest rate, which will not enable the individual have enough time to recoup the funds invested e.g investment on farm implements lime tractors and harvesters e.t.c. To recoup the money invested on these implements will take some time because they are capital investment and need a long tenure of repayment.
