The economic factors included the borrowers financial status, the homogeneity of the group members in terms of their economic background and the pooling ability to repay the loan. The findings further show that most respondents most of those borrowers who diverted the money for other uses other than specified in the loan application forms failed to pay back. Managerial related reasons in failure to follow up is one of the causes of none payment as well as the repayment period, high interest rates, poor attitude of the respondents in repaying the loan, and failure to acquire the money in time. These combined to have an impact on the ability of the borrowers to repay the loan.
