In recent years, there has been increased emphasis on the need for young Nigerians to develop entrepreneurial skills. Many public and privately-led youth schemes have been organised to promote entrepreneurship and self-reliance, to ramp up the rate of economic development and reduce the level of unemployment. While entrepreneurship is credited as a critical driver of economic growth, recent industry studies reveal that 65% of start-ups in Nigeria die within the first 3 years, no thanks to the country’s current 131st position in the global ease-of-doing business ranking. A position attributable to the poor quality of infrastructure in the nation.<\/p>\n
This dire situation has increased the need for aspiring and established entrepreneurs to employ innovation as a vital tool for business success and socio-economic impact.<\/p>\n
