The study examines the effect of covid 19 on the performance of small scale enterprises in Nigeria. Notably, the outbreak of the highly infectious disease in December 2019 disrupted economic activities as movements were restricted and businesses shut down. As a result many businesses could not survive the onslaught due to declining demand, decreasing revenue and falling profit. This resulted in high unemployment and poverty. The study employs the chi square statistics to examine the contemporaneous dynamics between covid 19 and operations of SMEs in Nigeria. The study finds that covid 19 severely affected the growth of SMEs in Nigeria during the pandemic era. It is therefore recommended by the study that the successful containment of the problems occasioned by covid 19 will require a combination of both micro and macro policies. Thus, given the strategic position occupied by small and medium scale enterprise, government may consider measures aimed at supporting them. Alternatively, a wide array of measures should be introduced to mitigate the economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak on businesses. Lawal M.

COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus which has not been previously identified in humans. This new virus and disease were unknown before the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, dry cough, and tiredness. Other symptoms that are less common and may affect some patients include aches and pains, nasal congestion, headache, conjunctivitis, sore throat, diarrhea, loss of taste or smell or a rash on skin or discoloration of fingers or toes. These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually (Kompas.com, 2020).

Cooperative A Positive Growth Driver in a Pandemic Economyijtsrd

The economy is characterized with setbacks in social and economic activities including deaths as a result of the deadly disease. This study therefore examined the COVID 19 Pandemic its meaning, origin and the need to overcome the pandemic. The paper described how global, regional and national cooperation can help overcome the pandemic using cooperative as a platform. However, considering the economic, social and environmental challenges of the pandemic, this paper contends that the cooperative model of enterprise has in recent time proven to be more sustainable and reliable platform for social and economic transformation in the Nigerian economy in the pandemic era for some obvious reasons The paper posited that the government and donor agencies have relied on cooperative in fighting hunger and poverty. The cooperative has also been relied upon for achieving national food security programme. Institutions both educational and other agencies are setting up one form of cooperative organization or the other for solving their social and economic needs. Research has also shown that many micro business owners rely on cooperative group membership for their business growth. Today, the cooperative ideals are spread across all sectors of the economy even without much publicity. Most importantly the pandemic made thousands if not millions of people informal members of cooperative organization in an effort to survive the vicious attack of the pandemic. The paper concludes that it is imperative that a clear cut cooperative sector that will serve as a professional and institutional base for cooperative growth and development in Nigeria be established.

The outbreak and subsequent spread of COVID-19 to the West African sub-region have brought significant changes to the different aspects of our lives and grounded educational and socio-political and economic activities of ECOWAS member states. The pandemic has exposed the poor state of the health systems and shortage in medical supplies and protective gears to cope with the health emergency. In response, strict restrictions were put in place to curb the spread of the virus and these have drastically affected peoples’ lifestyles. However, there has been huge increase in the use of technology in business, education, religion and other activities as people adapt to the changing times in the sub-region. It is the argument of this paper that things cannot return to the way they were before the pandemic, but West African states must strategically plan for the Post COVID-19 era to survive the massive wave of unemployment, socio-economic meltdown and changes in lifestyle. The paper concluded that while the fight against the virus in the sub-region was not collective, post-pandemic recovery must be coordinated, strategically plannedamong member states. It was recommended that the governments should be flexible enough to retain the use of ICT and technology alongside the conventional ways of doing things in the post-pandemic era.
Electronic Administration and COVID 19 Pandemic Opportunities and Challenges ...EditorIJTSRD1
Coronavirus disease COVID 19 has lay siege to all countries of the world and affected all facet of life of human beings. It led to the total partial lockdown of various sectors of the economy of most countries of the world. Nigeria also closed down almost all sectors of its economy, Nigerian Universities inclusive. The Federal Ministry of Education has ordered Nigerian Universities to close down academic activities from March 20th, 2020 to January 18th, 2021. This paper seeks to explore various opportunities provided by electronic administration for Nigerian Universities to continue to operate and be relevant during and post COVID 19 pandemic such opportunities include e learning, e meeting, e circular, e notification, virtual conference, e examination, e survey, database management among others. The paper also looks at the challenges that may hamper the utilization of these opportunities as epileptic power supply, lack of infrastructure, cost of data, inadequate finance, organizational culture, security and privacy, computer illiteracy, maintenance etc. The paper recommends renewable energy option for electricity, training and retraining of staff, more sophisticated security software among others. The paper uses secondary data to arrive at conclusion. This paper concludes that Electronic administration potentials if fully harnessed and utilized can help in the continuation of operation of Nigerian universities even during lockdown and closures.

THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE JORDANIAN ECONOMY AND ENTERPRISESectijjournal
This study investigates the impact of Covid-19 on Jordan's economic climate as well as Jordanian
enterprises. Starting with observing the procedures taken by the government of Jordan, then a discussion
and overview of the economic effect of the epidemic, and finally a discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on
enterprises in Jordan. The Results of this paper conclude that there is an economic impact of coronavirus
across the whole country. The impact is determined not only by the ramifications of the virus's spread on
the larger economy but also by the form of the government's reaction, which includes mobility restrictions
and other emergency measures, as well as Jordan's main development partners' support and the indirect
impacts caused by companies' responses to problems they have experienced, such as layoffs and wage
reductions to save expenses, when reporting repercussions. The study covers a period of two years from
2019 to 2020.
Containing the COVID 19 Pandemic in Nigeria A Reflection on Government Action...ijtsrd
The outbreak of the COVID 19 pandemic led to the lockdown of the global economy in the early part of the year 2020. In line with the measures recommended by the World Health Organization WHO , countries also introduced further mechanisms based on their respective unique environment to contain the virus. This paper reflected on the citizens’ reactions to government measures in containing the COVID 19 pandemic in Nigeria. Specifically, it reviewed the government’s actions towards containing the virus and how they influenced the citizens’ response. The study was qualitative and focused between March and September 2020. Relying on secondary data that were analyzed through content analysis, we triangulated the Persuasive Communication Theory and Resistance Theory to interrogate the governments actions and the citizens’ reactions. We argued that the governments approach towards containing the virus contributed to i the doubt on the existence of the virus in the country held by some of the citizens, ii the lack of strict observation of precautionary measures and safety regulations, iii the seeming non co operation between the government and the citizens in containing the virus. The implications of this relationship pose challenges for future epidemics, pandemics, and development in the country and could serve as a premise for further research.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

Comparative Analysis of Total Corporate Disclosure of Selected IT Companies o...ijtsrd
Disclosure is a process through which a business enterprise communicates with external parties. A corporate disclosure is communication of financial and non financial information of the activities of a business enterprise to the interested entities. Corporate disclosure is done through publishing annual reports. So corporate disclosure through annual reports plays a vital role in the life of all the companies and provides valuable information to investors. The basic objectives of corporate disclosure is to give a true and fair view of companies to the parties related either directly or indirectly like owner, government, creditors, shareholders etc. in the companies act, provisions have been made about mandatory and voluntary disclosure. The IT sector in India is rapidly growing, the trend to invest in the IT sector is rising and employment opportunities in IT sectors are also increasing. Therefore the IT sector is expected to have fair, full and adequate disclosure of all information. Unfair and incomplete disclosure may adversely affect the entire economy. A research study on disclosure practices of IT companies could play an important role in this regard. Hence, the present research study has been done to study and review comparative analysis of total corporate disclosure of selected IT companies of India and to put forward overall findings and suggestions with a view to increase disclosure score of these companies. The researcher hopes that the present research study will be helpful to all selected Companies for improving level of corporate disclosure through annual reports as well as the government, creditors, investors, all business organizations and upcoming researcher for comparative analyses of level of corporate disclosure with special reference to selected IT companies.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy.

Integration of Indian Indigenous Knowledge System in Management Prospects and...ijtsrd
The diversity of indigenous knowledge systems in India is vast and can vary significantly between different communities and regions. Preserving and respecting these knowledge systems is crucial for maintaining cultural heritage, promoting sustainable practices, and fostering cross cultural understanding. In this paper, an overview of the prospects and challenges associated with incorporating Indian indigenous knowledge into management is explored. It is found that IIKS helps in management in many areas like sustainable development, tourism, food security, natural resource management, cultural preservation and innovation, etc. However, IIKS integration with management faces some challenges in the form of a lack of documentation, cultural sensitivity, language barriers legal framework, etc. Savita Lathwal "Integration of Indian Indigenous Knowledge System in Management: Prospects and Challenges" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-8 | Issue-1 , February 2024, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd63500.pdf Paper Url: https://www.ijtsrd.com/management/accounting-and-finance/63500/integration-of-indian-indigenous-knowledge-system-in-management-prospects-and-challenges/savita-lathwal

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

and private schools, universities, stores and markets as well
as suspension of public gatherings including religious and
sporting events. Work at home was encouraged in several
states and government institutions. By the end of April,
2020, the group of states under lockdown measures
accounted for almost two-thirds of the national economy.
Shortly afterwards the government issued exemptions for
medical services, agricultural activities, food manufacturers
and retailers, telecommunications and certain financial
services. Later, the president announced some palliative
measures, mainly food distribution and a 2-month advance
payment of the conditional cash transfers made by the
government to vulnerablecitizens.Although,therestrictions
were later relaxed by the government in September, 2020,
economic activities especially SMEs did not operate at full
capacity. This was mainly due to the fact that a
comprehensive list of restrictionsremainsinplace,including
night time curfew, ban on non-essential inter-state
passenger travels, partial and controlled interstate
movement of goods and services, and mandatory use of face
masks or coverings in public even as clubs and bars
remained closed.
As restrictions on movement increased, stakeholders
became increasingly apprehensive about the consequences
for SMEs in Nigeria. In what later became clearer, as the
government response to corona virus heighten, SMEs in
Nigeria began to face difficulties in their operations due
mainly to high costs of production and distribution thereby
affecting the supply chain. Thesuddenonsetofthepandemic
and the scale of policy responses imposed significant
economic costs on Nigeria’s population, butthenatureof the
impacts on small and medium scale enterprises remain
unclear. It is against this background that the study is
germane. The rest of the paper is organized as follows.
Section two presents relevant literature whilst method of
study is presented in section three. In section four, resultsof
findings are presented. Finally, section five concludes the
paper with policy remarks.
Statement of the Problem
At the pick of the novel virus in July 2020,peoplewereafraid
to come out for any form of business activities for fear of
contracting the deadly virus. This was compounded by the
WHO guidelines regarding the application of social
distancing, personal hygiene, especially hand hygiene and
mask-wearing, aimed at reducing the spread of the novel
disease. Thus, the corona virus pandemic had debilitating
effects on SMEs operating in Nigeria’s food industry. As the
enforced restrictions roll on, the medium to long term
impact on SMEs was worrisome most especially as SMEs
produce, process, market, transport and sell the food
products and associated services depended upon by many
people in Nigeria. By far the most explicit impactsarehikein
prices predicated on food shortages for consumers whorely
on SMEs. Notably, bankruptcies and unemployment became
rampant as most businesses includingrestaurantswereshut
down and only take away meals were permitted. This was
not surprising as most small scaleindustriesdecreased work
hours with attendant salaries cut occasioned by skeletal
services. As would be expected, this led to reduction of
workforce thereby leading to increaseinunemploymentand
poverty. Essentially, the increase in criminality in recent
time ranging from armed robbing to kidnapping, internet
frauds and a host of others can be partly attributed to the
negative effect of covid-19 on the small and medium scale
sector in Nigeria. Even though there were criminal activities
such as kidnapping in Nigeria prior to the outbreak of the
deadly disease and the attendant lockdowns that follow
which led to the collapse of several businesses including
SMEs around the world, armed robbery, banditry especially
kidnappings for ransoms have only taken a very dangerous
dimension in Nigeria. The stay-at-home rules aimed at
containing the pandemic meant that thenon-essential goods
were less demanded. More worrisome was the government
inability to provide cushions by way of interest free loans or
outright disbursement of funds to the small business
concern. This further spelt doom for the SMEs in Nigeria.
Objective of the Study
To determine the effect of covid-19 on small scale business.
Research Questions
Does covid-19 affects small scale business in Nigeria?
Hypothesis Formulation
The study shall test one hypotheses in null form.
Ho: There is no significant effect of covid-19 on small scale
business in Nigeria.
Significance of the Study
The paper is relevance to manager of the Nigerian economy
especially those making policy for the survival of SMEs in
Nigeria. This is anchored on the findings of the study which
shed light on both the financial fragility of many small
businesses. More important is the significant effectcovid-19
had on businesses operating in Nigeria in the wake of the
pandemic that disrupted virtually all businesses. Also, the
study is significant as findings provide evidence of business
expectations on the longer term impact of covid-19 as well
as their perceptions of relief programs offered by the
government.
2. Review of Related Literature
As covid-19 is a new disease, literature on the subject is
relatively sparse. The coronavirus disease otherwiseknown
as covid-19 pandemic initially emerged in the Wuhan
province of China in December 2019 (Adenomon, Maisamaa
& John, 2020). Thereafter, it spilled over to other continents
of the World recording a very high level of casualtiesoneach
passing day. The virus was declared a global pandemic by
World Health Organisation (WHO) 0n 11 March, 2020. .In
Africa, Egypt recorded the first index case on 15th February
2020 (Medical Express News, 2020). The initial occurrence
of the highly infectious disease was referred to as the first
wave and almost all countries in the worldhaveexperienced
the first and the second waves.Essentially,somecountries in
Europe like France, Germany and Britain are currently
entering their third wave. Accordingly, lockdowns are
underway. However, in Africa in general and Nigeria in
particular, the rate of infectious has drastically drop. At the
time of conducting this study the number of global
confirmed cases reported in WHO dashboard as at 06 April
2021 have risen to 131, 487,572 with over 2.8 million death
in 223 countries, areas or territories. Similarly, the number
of confirmed cases in Nigeria in the same period stood at
163,388 while 2058 peoplehavediedfromthenovel disease.
The United Nation Development Programme (UNDP) has
described covid-19 as the worst global health tragedy of our
time since World War 2 (UNDP, 2020). On its part, the
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development
(OECD) in June 2020, noted that covid-19 is a global health
crisis withoutprecedentinhistory(OECDEconomicOutlook,

2020). It is on this note that the International Labour
Organization (ILO) estimated that about 195 million jobs
would have been lost during the period. Similarly,theWorld
Bank projected an annual decline of US$110 billion in
remittances which indicated that about 800 million people
would have been cut-off from their basic needs. It may
therefore not be out of place to infer that the trend which
culminated in total lockdown in many countries, resulted in
high mortality rate, acute malnutrition, gross inequality as
well as erosion of confidence in the ruling elites.
From the empirical corridor, Shafi, LiuandRen(2020)argue
that the global disease severely affected Pakistani economy
in a manner that micro, small,andmedium-sized enterprises
were struggling to survive. The study utilizes data from 184
Pakistani SMEs and thereby administered an online
questionnaire. Descriptively, the study finds that SMEs in
Pakistan suffer severely as their finances shrink, supply
chain disruption, decline in demand, reduction in sales and
revenue shortfalls. In Saudi Arabia, Tanveer, Hassan and
Bhaumik (2020) examine to what extent covid-19pandemic
and quarantine affected the sustainability of business
activities and consumer behavior. Applying KMO test on
questionnaires generated through email and social media,
the study finds that customer behavior was poor as to
guarantee the sustainability of business development. The
study argues that consumers were kept at home thereby
making patronage of online purchases and home delivery.
Back home in Nigeria, Eromafuru (2020) avers that despite
the enormous billions of dollars expended on procuring
treatment aimed at controlling the disease, very little effort
was made to curtail the number of causalities from the
deadly spiral. His study assesses the impact of coronavirus
pandemic on the socio-cultural and socio-economic
performance of SMEs in Nigeria. A sample of 350 of all
registered SMEs in manufacturing and service sectors was
used for the study. The study finds that positive relationship
exists between covid-19 pandemic and economic benefits in
the private sector whilst negative correlation was observed
between the virus disease and traditional lifestyles.Also,the
study finds that a negative relationship between covid-19
pandemic and the people livingstandards.Finally,itwasalso
observed by the study that a positive relationship exists
between covid-19 disease and the level of uncertainties in
the life of the people in the period under review. The study
uses the Cochran’s formula (1997) with questionnaires
sourced on cross sectional research approach and
multivariate regression model to explore the
contemporaneousdynamics. Oyewale,AdebayoandKehinde
(2020) explore the effect of covid-19 pandemicdisruptionin
economic activities ontheperformanceofsmall andmedium
scale enterprise in Nigeria. The study uses electronic
approach in data collection and undertook the analysis
through the method of linear probability. In addition, a
multivariate probit model was also employed. It was
discovered by the study that a number of entrepreneurs
were severely affected by the covid-19 pandemics and the
attendant lockdown and movement restrictions imposed by
the government. Finally, the study also finds that effect of
covid-19 virus differs on sectors (agriculture versus non-
agriculture). For instance, the study reveals that partial
lockdown measures had an increasing likelihood effect on
low sales on non-agricultural sector whilst food and
agriculture sector experience an opposite effect.
Economic Role of Small Scale Enterprises in Nigeria
Several economic development advocates have come to
realize the significant role of small scale enterprises. They
are viewed to be characterized by dynamism, witty,
innovations, effectiveness and the relative small size allows
for faster decision making process in conducting business
activities. Governments globally have realized the
significance of this category of enterprisesandhaveinitiated
cumulative public policies to encourage and fund the
establishment of small scale enterprises. This is why
Anthony (2020) argues that small business enterprises are
becoming increasingly evident through a robust economy
and the mobilization of local resource revolution, reduction
in rural urban migration, uses of industries disposal and
creation of employment opportunities which can be
achieved by a conscious and systematic policy of
development of small and medium enterprises. Small scale
businesses are initially formed in traditional settingssuchas
haircut and weaving. They help in maintaining
craftsmanship, generating employment, maximize waste by
using scrap materials from large firms as well as enhances
economic sub-contracting.
Covid-19 Pandemic and Economic Performance in
Nigeria
Economics around the world are fighting the effects of the
covid-19 pandemic. As with most economic around the
world, the sharp drop in Nigeria’s GDP growth is largely due
to the slowdown in economic activity after the country
resorted to a lockdown in order to curb the spread of the
virus. In the wake of the pandemic the World Bank
forecasted a decline of -3.2% for 2020 – a 5% point drop
from its previous projections. While the lockdown has since
been eased in the wake of “heavy economic costs”, the
continued rise in cases – especially in Lagos, Nigeria’s
economic hub-meant that the local economy is yet to full re-
open. Anecdotal evidence suggests that some small
businesses closed because of changes in customer behavior,
especially the physical distancing andmandatedoperational
restrictions that began during the pandemic. Such
businesses include food and educational services that were
severely affected.

Degree of freedom
Df = (2 – 1)(2 -1)
= (1)(1) = 1
The X2 Table or level of significance 0.05(5%) is given as
3.840. Since X2 calculated (11.68) greater than X2 Table
(3.84), we accept the alternative hypothesis in favour of the
null hypothesis and conclude that covid-19 affected the
operations of SMEs in Nigeria during the spike of the
pandemic.
5. CONCLUDING REMARKS
The study focuses on the effect of covid-19 on the
performance of small scale enterprises in Nigeria.
Observably, the outbreak of the highly infectious disease in
December 2019disrupted economicactivitiesasmovements
were restricted and businesses shut down. As a result many
businesses could not survive the onslaught due to declining
demand, falling revenue and decreasing profit. The results
was unemployment and poverty whichfurtherledtovarious
crimes with the most disturbing trend being banditry and
kidnappings as currently witnessed in Nigeria. The study
employs the chi square statistics to examine the
contemporaneous dynamics between covid-19 and
operations of SMEs in Nigeria. The study finds that covid-19
severely affected the growth of SMEs during the spike of the
pandemic era. The results gave credence to the findings of
Oyewale et al., (2020) and Eromafuru (2020) in Nigeria as
well as Shafi et al., (2020) in Pakistan and Tanveer et al
(2020) in Saudi Arabia. It is recommendedthereforethatthe
successful containmentoftheproblemsoccasioned bycovid-
19 will require a combination of both micro and macro
policies. Thus, given the strategic position occupiedbysmall
and medium scale enterprise, government should put
measures in place to support them. While thefirstconcern is
public health, a wide arrayofmeasuresshouldbeintroduced
to mitigate the economic impact of thecoronavirusoutbreak
on businesses. Specifically, government should urgently
deploy measures to support SMEs and the self-employed
during this severely challenging time, with a strong focus on
initiatives to sustain short-term liquidity. For instance, the
interventionist policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria should
be holistic and sustained to support in lending by alleviating
monetary conditions and enabling commercial banks to
provide more loans to SMEs.
