This study was carried out to examine the influence of SMEs and economic development in Nigeria using Y2K Pub in Asaba, Delta state, Nigeria, as a case study. Specifically, the study aimed at ascertaining the role of SMEs and managerial capacity in the economic development in Nigeria; identify the factors affecting SMEs and managerial capacity in contributing to the economic development of Nigeria; evaluate the extent to which SMEs and managerial capacity have contributed to the economic development of Nigeria; identify problems or constraints that militates against the growth and development of SMEs in Nigeria. The study employed the survey descriptive research design. A total of 50 responses were validated from the survey. From the responses obtained and analysed, the findings revealed that Entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in the economic growth and development of any nation. In order words, there is a veritable link between entrepreneurship development and economic development. Furthermore, the Pearson Correlation result shows there is a significant relationship between SMEs and economic development in Nigeria. The study recommend Policy makers should recognize the essence of SME to economic development. Entrepreneurship deserves equal emphasis as is being placed on science and technology; it is the entrepreneur that translates the innovation in science and technology into wealth. Thus, SMEs should be recognized as an important factor of production just as land (raw materials), labor and capital (liquid and physical), since it is only the entrepreneur that can combine all the other factors to produce wealth.
