Abstract
Abstract:Boosting the micro enterprises (MEs) sector of the economy has featured consistently in the agenda of successive policy makers in Nigeria in recent times. In line with this concern, development planners have gone ahead to identify a key factor to achieving the desired results - steady supply of public electricity. This is because MEs in Nigeria depend very much on public electricity to function.

Using percentages, responses to questionnaires items were analyzed while the Z statistical technique was utilized to test the hypothesis of the study. Results unveiled among other issues that fluctuation in public supply of electricity has a significant negative impact on the profit margin, and consequently, the growth and sustainability of micro enterprises the Southern Senatorial District of Cross River State, Nigeria.
