    The thrust of this study was to assess the effect of simulation instructional package on English Language students' achievement and retention in senor secondary schools in FCT Abuja, Nigeria. Two research questions and its corresponding hypotheses were used. Quasi experimental research design of non-rand omized pre-test, post-test, post-posttest control group 7 design was employed for the study. The population of the study comprised of all 12,898 SS 2 students. A sample of 165 students was used for the study.

ELAT was validated by expert's which yielded 0.86 validity index and KR-^ formula was used to determine the reliability of internal consistence which yielded 0.85 reliability index. Mean and Standard Deviation were used to answer the research questions while the hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significant using ANCOVA. The findings revealed that, there is a significant difference in the achievement of students taught English Language using simulation instructional package and conventional teaching method, and students taught English Language using simulation instructional package had high retentive capacity than their counterpart students taught using conventional teaching method.

    in recent decades, economic growth in countries around the world has become increasingly dependent on the dynamism of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). This is especially important in the transition economies. The creation of a new SME sector in Nigeria as a transition country may play an important role in the process of economic regeneration and job creation. The paper sets out an approach to analyzing the development of SMEs in Nigeria. We have focused on (i) attitudes of entrepreneurs in the private sector towards the role of government in SME development through provision of assistance to SMEs in Nigeria (ii) the business environment in which firms operate, and (iii) attitudes of the employee in government sector towards the role of government in SME development through the provision of assistance to SMEs. The paper reviews the literature on these three approaches and available evidence on relevance to understanding the performance of SMEs as main agents of entrepreneurship in Nigeria.
