Abstract

The Nigerian leather sector, with its rich historical legacy and bright future, has seen a surge

in the number of start-ups looking to make an impression. Driven by their innovative spirit and

entrepreneurial fervour, these start-ups represent an essential sector of the country's economy.

However, the complex entrepreneurial environment in which they work has a huge impact on

their journey. This study delves deeply into the rich field of leather start-ups in Nigeria,

examining the elements of the entrepreneurial environment that support or sometimes obstruct

their development and success. I explore the diverse universe of these start-ups in this

investigation, with an emphasis on comprehending the intricate interactions between variables

that influence their path. Our goal is to deconstruct the different components of the ecosystem

that supports entrepreneurship and identify the dynamics that can either serve as impetus for

success or pose significant barriers to their expansion and eventual success. This research

offers important insights into the potential and difficulties these start-ups encounter by

illuminating the complex interaction between them and the larger entrepreneurial scene.
