Entrepreneurship: A Viable Career Option

“The demands of leadership have changed. The highest levels of leadership require mastery of a new task: job creation” “Job creation is the new currency of all world leaders” Clifton, J (Chairman of Gallup),

In a society where over 62% of its population are dependent and having 38% of its citizenry in the working class, it’s a case for concern. The most stable employer, government and social services, represents only 10% of the labour force thus, most jobs are self creation entrepreneurship


Entrepreneurship is been regarded in most developing countries as the backbone for change to tackle the problem of unemployment among the youths.  There are both opportunities and obstacles to entrepreneurship in Nigeria's business climate, which could influence a citizen's decision whether to start a business. It depends on the person. There are students who have started companies and become very successful—people like Google founders Sergei Brin and Larry Page
