Abstract
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs investments, increasing productivity, and advancing technology in
the actual sector. The study also examines the obstacles that SMEs in Nigeria must overcome to realize
their full potential, including restricted access to capital, inadequate infrastructure, and bureaucratic red
tape. This research aims to provide policymakers, business leaders, and stakeholders with insights to
formulate effective strategies that support the growth and sustainability of SMEs, thereby fueling
Nigeria’s industrial transformation and economic revival. It does this by clarifying the advantages and
challenges associated with SME participation in the real sector.
