Background of the Study
The textile industry plays a significant role in Nigeria's economy, contributing to employment generation, export earnings, and industrial growth. Aba Industrial Hub in Abia State is renowned for its textile and garment manufacturing, which caters to both domestic and international markets (Eze & Adiele, 2023).
Despite its potential, the textile industry in Aba faces numerous financial challenges, including limited access to credit, high production costs, and fluctuating exchange rates. These financial constraints hinder growth and reduce the competitiveness of textile firms in local and global markets (Okoroafor, 2024).
This study examines the financial challenges faced by textile firms in Aba Industrial Hub, exploring their impact on business performance and potential solutions to enhance the sector's financial stability.
