Abstract
Entrepreneurship development refers to a process of enhancing the skills and knowledge of entrepreneurs regarding the development, management and organization of a business venture while keeping in mind the risks associated with it. This paper examines entrepreneurship development in colonial and post-independent Nigeria, with regards to its challenges and prospects. The work also looked into some government efforts and programmes that are supporting Entrepreneurship development. Entrepreneurial activity has been a catalyst that drives economic growth, development and job creation. Over the past few decades, national and sub-national government world-wide have increasingly focused on engaging more people in the market activities with an assumption that markets play a crucial role in attaining sustained increase in living standard.
