GENDER CONSIDERATIONS AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA
CHAPTER ONE
Introduction

Individuals go into business for the sake of obtaining regular income, becoming self employed and also help others. Although there are different kinds of business enterprises that female and male can go into, often times, some businesses are regarded as more suitable for one sex and not the other. This means that there are some gender discriminations in the choice of business one goes into and, by extension, in entrepreneurship development.
Apparently, gender attitudes and behaviours may have positive or negative effect on entrepreneurship development in a society or economy.
This research work therefore intends to take a critical look at gender discriminations as they affect entrepreneurship development with particular reference to Northern Nigeria in general, using Exceptional production services Limited Kaduna, Kaduna North Local Government area as a case study, and also to suggest the possible solutions to indentified problems and give recommendations where necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the material for “The Impact of Financial Liberalization on the Performance of Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria, 1975-2013” be used as a guide for Economics Project?
Yes it can be used — This study examines the overall impact of Financial Liberalization on the Performance of Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. The study is specifically directed towards analyzing the rationale of executing a financial liberalization policy; preparing an account of the evolution, process and sequencing of the financial liberalization; and evaluating the impact of the various liberalization measures on key performance variables of DMBs. Most of the previous studies focused on the economic growth aspect of financial liberalization and yet, very little is known empirically about its impact on profitability, credit to the private sector and deposit growth of DMBs. To bridge this gap, a financial liberalization index has been developed to evaluate all of the three dimensions of DMBs in Nigeria. …
