About the Journal
The Nigerian Journal of Rural Finance and Entrepreneurship (NJRFE) is a biannual, double-blind,
peer-reviewed journal that focuses on theoretical, empirical, and conceptual research in the broad
fields of entrepreneurship, rural finance, management, and economics. To ensure originality and
scholarly relevance, each submission undergoes a rigorous review process involving at least one peer
reviewer and an editorial review. Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not under
consideration for publication elsewhere. To uphold academic integrity and ethical standards, all
submissions will undergo a plagiarism check. Papers that fail the plagiarism test will be rejected. The
opinions expressed in published articles are solely those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect
the views of the Editorial Board. The NJRFE is published twice a year, in June and December. A
maximum of two submissions per issue is allowed per author as the lead author.
