Abstract
This study examined the extent of enhancement of infrastructural development on small and medium scale enterprises performance in Nigeria. This was carried out to determine the extent infrastructural availability enhances small and medium businesses growth in Nigeria. In line with the above, two research objectives, two research questions and two research hypotheses guided the study. This study collected both primary and secondary data. Marjorly, primary data were collected through the use of questionnaire. The data collected in this study were analyzed using simple percentage and Pearson product moment correlation coefficient. Based on the data analysis, the study discovered that road infrastructure does not enhance patronage and growth of small scale and medium scale enterprises and there is no significant relationship between stable power supply and productivity of small scale and medium scale enterprises. It was recommended that the state government should provide road facilities in selected SME cluster areas within the state. More so, there is need for the government to invest heavily on power supply through different sources like solar energy, etc.
