Many Nigerians did not think of self determination as an attempt to government employment but the worsening unemployment situation currently playing the country has changed this thinking, shot of alternatives, many graduates and school leavers as well as other Nigerians are now moving in quest of self determination by launching themselves into various business venture.(Eze, 2007).

In recognition of the need of foreign capital to enhance entrepreneurship development in Nigeria, the federal government has introduced a series of policy that are designed to attract foreign investment in Nigeria. In an attempt to diversify the economy and stimulate foreign private enterprise development government agencies and private institutions are liaising with international organizations to enhance the letters participation in different entrepreneurship development activities in Nigeria (Onyishi, 2001:19).

There are international organizations such as the international Labour organization (ILO) involved in promoting small business entrepreneurship in different part of the world (Afolabi; 2001:22). In addition to providing foreign capital, these international organizations also provide technical assistance for African countries. It is against this background that this study is set to examine the impact of foreign capital in entrepreneurship development in Nigeria.

5.0 Discussion Of Result And Findings Conclusion And Recommendtions.

This chapter companies of the following sub-headings, discussion of result and findings, conclusion, implication, recommendations, suggestions for further research and bibliography.

5.1 Discussion Of Result And Findings

Entrepreneurship development in Nigeria has been mainly financed by indigenous organization as the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) National Economic Recovery Fund (NERFIJND), National Association of small and medium enterprise, Nigeria Bank for credit and commerce (NBCI), etc. provide staff loans for small and medium enterprises development in Nigeria. In an earlier, Ogbodo (2009) observed that these organization had as one of their objectives the promotion of entrepreneurship in order to provide employment

Opportunities for Nigerians. According to him, these organizations source their funds internally. It is also funded that some of these organizations have access to foreign capital. This finding is supported by Omoniyi (2008). In his work on World Bank and financing of entrepreneurship development in developing countries. According to him, they obtain foreign capital through multilateral organizations which include the world bank, international labour organization, international monetary fund, foreign non-government organizations however, he notes that the amount of foreign capital that coples in the country for the purpose of entrepreneurship development is not substantiated. This remark agree with that of Onyishi (2000:11) who expressed that entrepreneurship development in Nigeria is substantially funded by local financial and non-financial institutions. It is also discovered that foreign capital contributes to entrepreneurship development. Supporting this finding Nwalu (2007) state that foreign capital increases loan able funds for entrepreneurship ventures, entrepreneurship training in management as well as for importation of foreign machinery and equipment. He notes that the costliness and exorbitance of foreign equipment makes it difficult for entrepreneurs to obtain and as alternative they resort to cheap and less efficient locally fabricated equipment. Nevertheless, the provision of foreign capital by foreign organization helps in alleviating this difficulty. Earlier, Ugbaja (2001:42) had expressed that foreign private investment and multinational companies made foreign capital available for entrepreneurship development in Nigeria. Finally, it is found that Nigeria investors can raise foreign capital from international capital market. In his own work Ugwu Anyi (2007) expresses that international capital market located in Europe, America and the east have been providing foreign capital for entrepreneurs who make investment in foreign bonds and securities traded in such market according to him, such capital is also used for local investment in entrepreneurial ventures.

5.2 Conclusion

1. Foreign Capital is made available for entrepreneurship development in Nigeria by multilateral organization, private investors by multilateral organization, private investors, foreign government and foreign NGO’s.
2. Foreign capital contribution to enterprenereurship development in Nigeria by supplementing that available foreign reserves and increasing loan able funds to Nigeria investors, providing funds for entrepreneurship training in management and for importation of foreign machinery and equipments.
3. Foreign investors and multinational organizations also contribute foreign capital to some extent for entrepreneurship development in Delta.

5.3 Recommendation

2. The multilateral organization or foreign private interest can be loaned into the country to form partnership with the local entrepreneurs. This will not provide only foreign capital but also technical assistance for such entrepreneur ventures.
3. Indigenous NGO’s can form partnership with their foreign counterparts and open up funds for entrepreneurship funding in Nigeria which is the case in many south east Asian countries. This is a significant way of providing foreign capital in these countries.
4. Many private investors who provide foreign capital in Nigeria have cased their activities because of corrupt practices of Nigeria who dupe them. To this effect, a new orientation of character of Nigeria and bring them back to business their capital.
5. Finally, the ruling government should ensure political stability and create an enabling business environment with its economic policies. This will attract foreigners with their capital for entrepreneurship activities.
