The main objective of establishing Small and Medium Enterprises SMEs is to enhance job creation, promote economic growth and reduce poverty. Small and Medium Enterprises constitute the smallest businesses. They are found in most sectors of the economy, occupying every available space in the form of enterprises such as provision stores, bakeries, pure water production, food processing industries, solar power installation etc. Therefore, this research will assess the impact of government financing on the performance of SMEs. For this research study, both descriptive and inferential statistics will be used. Chi-square would serve as a method of data analysis to determine the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Primary data will be used in the study. The findings of the study show that government funding of SMES through the National Bank of Industries ban on the importation of goods, short registration period, and skills acquisition programs play a more significant role in improving the productivity of SMES.
