 CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

• Background of the study

Entrepreneurship development by way of education has been receiving attention globally. Several attempt have been made through researches, mounting of entrepreneurship courses, programmes in both institutions of learning and entrepreneurship research centers for the purpose of developing both entrepreneurship spirit and culture (Akpomi 2009; Adejimola and Olufunmilayo 2009; Dickson 2008). As expressed by Kalirajan and Singh (2009) and MDG Report (2007), entrepreneurship drive entails intensified effort to mobilize and enhance entrepreneurial activity which will consequently benefit individuals, government, and the society at large. The issue of poverty eradication has been a top priority of many government and institutions especially in developing countries where extreme poverty is conspicuous and became pandemic. To this end, Ewhrudjakpor (2008) asserted that poverty and unemployment are among the major developmental problems that face every developing economy in the 21st century. In Nigeria today, the increasing rate of poverty, unemployment, corruption and so many other social problems has become worrisome to the government and to every well meaning citizen. Therefore, the need for apparent change is very desirable and necessary for the country to move forward and to meet up with the global challenges. The integration of economies through globalization process any government or state that hesitates or vacillates on whether to imbibe the culture of change will certainly remain stagnant or create standstill not only at the detriment of its country but to the larger global community It is one thing to indulge in entrepreneurship and it is another thing to create wealth. Wealth creation from entrepreneurship entails proper coordination, strategy and implementation of appropriate policy. Other factors include infrastructures, awareness and education. It is pertinent to note that education can be a means to an end. It can simply be a tool for securing employment and emancipation of people through the provision and acquiring of necessary knowledge and skills to make lives more flourishing (Akingbola, 2008). The rest of this study would investigate the need and importance of entrepreneurship development on wealth creation.
