For completeness, a sample of six hundred and fifty seven (657) transport related organizations (infinite population) was included in the study. Therefore, a total of one thousand three hundred and seventy seven (1377) questionnaires were administered to the respondents. The data collected was measured on a five point likert scale with a hypothesized scale of 3.00. The data analysis revealed that the extent to which pro-competitive roles of trade associations affect entrepreneurial developments in Nigeria’s transport industry was 1.91 which is less than the expected value of 3.00 on a five point likert scale. Further analysis showed that the extent to which anti-competitive role of trade associations affects entrepreneurial development in Nigeria’s was 4.47 which is greater than 3.00 on a five point Likert scale. The test of hypothesis using a two sample Z- test, indicated that the Z-calculated value for the differences in the two mean score was 229.8386 with a significance probability of
