This paper examines the effect of support for entrepreneurship development on economic growth and development in Nigeria with a view to ameliorating some problems militating against the development of Nigeria. Secondary data was sourced from CBN reports, NBS reports and so on. Hypotheses were set and tested by engaging the linear regression method as the analytical tool. The results discovered that government policy has helped in developing entrepreneurs’ skill in Nigeria and that whatever polices formulated in the time past has not helped in the development of entrepreneurial skill. In light of these, it was recommended that policies of entrepreneur development and the delivery institutions must be appropriate so that the small industrial units that are being promoted do not fall into a peculiar and complex difficulty.

<p><em>This study aimed toknow the relationship and the pattern between economic growth and inequality of economic development in East Java at 2004- 2013. It is determined by the characteristics of development policy area in East Java at 2004- 2013.This research is carried out in East Java province that contains of 29 regencies and 9 cities. They are divided into 4 Bakorwil. This research uses the secondary data, then analyzed by analysis technique of Williamson Index to measure development inequality, correlation of moment product and Regression Curve Estimation.The results of this research are (1) the relationship pattern between economic growth and development inequality tends to be “U” so Kuznets hypothesis does not apply in East Java, and the correlation value of product moment does not significant so the relationship economic growth and development inequality cannot be described. (2) In each Bakorwil, the relationship pattern between economic growth and inequality of economic development is influenced by the characteristics of development policy area in East Java province, likewise with its correlation.</em></p>

Economic growth of any counties had positive and negative impact. A positive impact is an increase in national income and negatif impact are inequility of personal income distribution and development disparities. Economic growth in province of South Sumatera also had that impact. The purposes of this research is to prove empirically relationship and patterns of linkages between economic growth and development disparities. The data that used is secondary data obtained from Central Statistic Agency in the form of economic growth rates, gross regional domestic product per capita and total population of the province of South Sumatera during the period 2010-2017. The analysis use with Williamson Index to measure development disparities and Pearson Correlation to find out the relationship between economic growth and development disparities and to prove Kuznets hypothesis. The result of this analysis are : (1)development disparities in the province of South Sumatera during the period 2010-2017 , including height indicated by the Williamson Index more than 0,5. (2) Pearson Correlation is -0,253 show that there is a negatif relationship between economic growth and development disparities and this proved that the Kuznets hypothesis (curve U-Reserved) also occur happen in this province. It means, that economic growth is inversely proportional to development disparities.(3) R Square is 0,064 , means the effect ofeconomic growth on development disparities is 6% and 94% influenced by other factors

The effect of government expenditure on economic growth in Nigeria for a period of thirty-six (36) years that is, from 1981 to 2016 was the focus of this study. This study was inspired by two leading controversial issues in theoretical literature and empirical studies regarding the effect of government expenditure on economic growth for emerging economies. First, within the theoretical claim, Keynesian school of thoughts assert the presence of positive linkage between government expenditure and economic growth and development, while neoclassical economists refute this assertion and posited a negative association between government expenditure and economic growth and development. Identifying the side of these two arguments that is akin to all economies remains a puzzle among scholars as validation of either theory across the globe is still in vain. Secondly, the direction of relationship/causality between government expenditure and economic growth and development over the years is still not clear, especially for developing countries. Specifically, this study ascertained the effect of government recurrent and capital expenditure on the growth rate of real gross domestic product. We applied the Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) Co-integration and Granger causality test using secondary data from the Central Bank of Nigeria. We found that Nigeria’s economic growth is independent/not affected by government recurrent and capital expenditure. We are of the opinion that the Federal Government through its appointed ministers in collaboration with the legislature review the composition of Federal Government of Nigeria total expenditure by ensuring that capital expenditure takes at least 50% of annual total expenditure. Measures such as reducing foreign training and bogus allowances for political office holders should be tailored towards reducing government consumption expenditures.
