    Introduction

    1.1 Background of the Study

    Entrepreneurship has been observed to be featuring and will continue to feature as a major theme in both national and international conferences. This is because of its immense contributions in the economic development of both developing and developed nations. It is an ability of an individual to identify and extract economic activities within his environment which others are unable to identify. It deals with the identification and extraction of new economic ideas and strategies which are not yet been tapped by any one.

    Akanbi (2010) defined entrepreneurship as the process of creating something different in value by devoting the necessary time and effort, assuming the accompanying financial, psychological and social risks and receiving the resulting rewards of monetary and personal satisfaction. Entrepreneurship is the ability to turn ideas into action by an individual. Agomuo (2002) viewed entrepreneurship as a process of bringing together creative and innovative ideas, combining them with management and organization skills in order to combine people, money and resources to meet an identified need and thereby create wealth. A person who engages in an entrepreneurship process is an entrepreneur.

    An entrepreneur is therefore an individual who combines both natural and human resources in order to create wealth. Elbridge in Muhammed, Malik, Arslam, Salman and Abid (2013) identified an entrepreneur as a person who runs the business and bears the risk for profit and loss. Entrepreneurs are generally classified according to types of business, technology use, motivation, growth and entrepreneurial stages of development.
