Towards an Indigenous Social Inclusion Paradigm: Igbo Apprenticeship System, Poverty Alleviation and Wealth Creation in South-East Nigeria

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: This research looked at how the Igbo trade apprenticeship programme has helped lower poverty rates in that region of Nigeria.Five hypotheses were generated to test the potential existence of a causal connection between the independent and dependent variables.Using a survey methodology, a structured questionnaire was used to collect data, which was then evaluated using chi-square tests.The research found that the Igbo trade apprenticeship system contributed to lessening poverty in Nigeria's southeast.According to the results, the method was successful in developing rich Igbo entrepreneurs and businesses, who in turn eradicated hunger, poverty, disease, and unemployment in Nigeria's South East.The study concluded that the Nigerian government might better protect its citizens from exploitation within the Igbo trade apprenticeship system if it passed legislation to regulate, maintain, and prevent such abuse.
