1.0. INTRODUCTION
1.1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The level of development of any nation is measured by its economic activities and productivity. Also the economic realities of a nation is a function of the rate of investment (public or private) the act which investigators commits their funds either to expand plan or to start a new project entirely environments and prospects at a given time.
Government alone cannot provide act the investment needed in a country. To complement the government efforts as a result of perceived role, the private sectors can play in engineering position for governments including Nigeria, of assistance to pupervise and support active participation of the private sectors in economic development rests.
The starting point of entrepreneurship lies in the human need and wants. The existence of production, what has utility do to satisfy such needs. Man in his quest to satisfying his unending needs, funds him unto production in the production period. The utility to initiate a business ideas and also take position in combining other factors of production such as (land, labour, capital) for efficient problems (the focus of the study) dreaminess role of entrepreneur, characteristics, problems and prospect while most people allow condition to control their attitude on entrepreneurship use the control condition.
Entrepreneurship started when people produced more products that needed as such they had to exchange those surpluses for instances if a blacksmith produces more hoes that he needed, may be he needs some goat or yam etc, he would look for someone who needed his product to exchange worth by this way, producers came to realized what they can concentrate in their area of production to produce more and echange with that they needed.
So through this exchange of products, entrepreneurship started. A typical Nigeria entrepreneur is a self made man who might be said to have strong will to succeed, he might engage the service of others like mates, friengs, in-law etc to help him in his work for production. Through this way, Nigeria in the olden days was engaged in entrepreneurship. Early entrepreneurship started with trade-by-barter.
Modern entrepreneurship in Nigeria started with the coming of colonial masters who brought in their wears and made Nigerians their middle men. In this way, modern entrepreneurship was conceived. One of the major factots that have in many ways discourages this value system brought by formal education.
Although, difficulty due to lack of resources, there are no profitable organization in Nigeria that rae dedicated to promote entrepreneurship. Nigeria does not have a large detailed history when it comes to entrepreneur. Their history started with the surplus production of goods when they had created too many products in their domain. They would trade those products for something else they needed. This is the beginning of entrepreneur in a whole clear light with Nigeria.
History Background of the study (Mbaitoli local Government Area).
Mbaitoli came into focus in colonial area as a local government area in Imo state, which stretched further to Orlu road. Mbaitoli which was created in the year 1994-1995, because more popular and well populated in 1950, eastern region of Nigeria because the first colonial territory in Africa where a wholesome government ordinances law was passed which had three tier system, country, district and local government. Mbaitoli because a local government area to promote entrepreneurship.
Nigeria, its state and local government’s area history started with the surplus production of good and they exchange these surplus goods for something else they needed. This is the beginning of entrepreneurs in a whole new light in Nigeria.
