Entrepreneurship growth and successes would help lift Nigeria from the bottom ladder of
development which she has found herself based on UNDP report from 2002 till date but
entrepreneurship would never grow unless there is a deliberate effort on the part of Nigeria
to/develop and reinvigorate her human capital through education, training, cultural dynamism,
commitment, social interaction, leadership, attitudinal training, orientation etc. It is only when
the human capital is harnessed; nurtured and developed can entrepreneurship and
entrepreneurs have fertile soil to grow. Suggestions are also made on the way forward for
entrepreneurship successes.
