Abstract: This paper discusses the challenges of SMEs with regards to the issue of road network and security. Survey data was collected through semi-structured questionnaires administered to 90 SMEs; also interviews were done with some members of the Federal Road Safety Corp (FRSC) and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF). With the aid of SPSS software, the study used descriptive statistics to present and analyze data. Some challenges identified are bad road conditions such as potholes and security issues such as theft. Based on these challenges, the following suggestion were made; the need for more roads to be constructed and for existing ones to be rehabilitated. There is also the need for security operatives to be properly funded to enable them discharge their duties effectively.
