The data collected were presented in tables using frequencies and percentages and analysed using the five point likert system. The hypotheses were tested using the chi-square distribution formula. The findings include that feasibility study can help determine the market share of the product of Emenite Nigeria Limited, feasibility study has significant relationship with technology available for production in Emenite Nigeria Limited, feasibility study has positive effect on total project cost in Emenite Nigeria Limited and feasibility study has positive effect on profitability of the project in Emenite Nigeria Limited. The researcher concluded that feasibility study has a positive effect on long-term performance in Nigeria manufacturing companies and it was recommended that businessmen should gather as much information as possible about their business before they go into such business because feasibility study can help determine the market share of their organizations, in carrying out a feasibility study, businessmen should consider the technology available for production, management of organizations should consider the total project cost in their feasibility study and a feasibility study should always consider the uncertain business environment, for management to make profit in their organizations.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
It is not easy to start a new business. This is because many factors will be considered by the prospective business owner before deciding on which business to enter into (Ile, 2010:231). Business that will not provide the challenges, opportunities, reward-financially and otherwise that is being sought, have to be eliminated. Once a choice is made, it is necessary to conduct an economic feasibility study to determine as best as possible its economic viability.
Feasibility study is an investigation carried out to assess the economic viability of any proposed business (Ademola, 2013:74). Every business establishment has a possibility of success or failure. An intended business success or failure could be determined by the amount of information that a businessman has before engaging in a particular venture. This therefore brings to the mind the issue of feasibility study. Feasibility study helps the investor to sharpen his judgment and not replace it. According to Ahmed (2013:98), businessmen are advised to know all that they are capable of knowing about the enterprise, the product or service that they want to provide and the only way of doing this is by carrying out well prepared feasibility studies.
Carrying out any technical study involves planning. Planning reduces the degree of risk in operation or organization by providing information concerning the circumstances and facts that influence success or failure of a proposed course of action. Planning is deciding in advance what to do, when to do it and who to do it. It is also a set of managerial activities designed to prepare the enterprise for the future and ensure that decisions regarding the use of people and resources help achieve the objectives of the enterprise; planning helps to reduce uncertainty within an organization.
The need for feasibility study is that for projects to be feasible yesterday at a given location does not mean that they would be so today for the same or different location given the erratic changes that occur now and then in the economy and that all projects are unique in their own ways (Okonkwo, 2012:106).
A good feasibility study seeks information to cover all aspects of the enterprise including the product, the market, manpower requirements, capital requirements, legal requirements, credit practices in the trade, service of fund, tends requirement and technical requirements. It is also important when carrying out a feasibility study to find out how profitable the business opportunity is at present.
There are so many manufacturing companies in Nigeria, and they are always in competition with one another, coupled with the uncertain business environment  (Bello, 2011:134). Hence, the need for feasibility study in the manufacturing sector in Nigeria.
Feasibility study investigates into the potential outcome of the project, but not all entrepreneurs do feasibility studies before going into business. Problems such as difficulty and complication which the process faces in assessing viable and reliable information concerning prospective business are encountered.
This study intends to examine the effect of feasibility study on long-term performance of Nigeria Organizations, with Emenite Nigeria Limited Emene, as a case study..
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The effects of not conducting feasibility study could lead to high mortality rate of Nigerian organizations. Many Nigerian organizations have collapsed as a result of not seeking information on the marketing, financial and technical aspect of the business.
Moreover, it has led to high unemployment rate as a result of the failure of Nigerian organization. Furthermore the change in the environment like the dwindling rate of Naira to dollar has financial implication of carrying out feasibility study.

3.     What is the effect of feasibility study on productivity of Emenite Nigeria Limited?
4.     What is the effect of feasibility study on profitability of Emenite Nigeria Limited?
1.5 Statement of Hypotheses
