Igbo Trade Apprenticeship System and Wealth Creation in South East, Nigeria

In South East Nigeria, the Igbo trade apprenticeship system plays an important mediating and intervening role in survival strategies, company success, economic development, and wealth generation. Igbo trade apprenticeships, or "Igba-boyi," "Igba-odibo," or "Imu-ahia," and their role in the development of wealth in southeastern Nigeria were the primary focus of the research. To determine if there was a substantial relationship between the two variables, three theories were developed. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect data in a survey approach. The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient was used in the analysis. Wealth growth in southeastern Nigeria is correlated with the Igbo trade apprenticeship system, according to the analysis. According to the results, the plan has helped reduce poverty, unemployment, sickness, and starvation in southeastern Nigeria by creating prosperous Igbo businesspeople. The study authors urged the Nigerian government to codify the "Imu-ahia" system of Igbo trade apprenticeships into legislation in order to make them more uniform and secure against misuse.
