Where Do They Want More Entrepreneurs? Try Nigeria
There are not just Americans and Europeans sitting at the entrepreneur table in the 21st century. Today, entrepreneurs are connecting around the globe for opportunities.
Turns out Nigeria is one of the fastest growing economies on the planet. The International Monetary Fund expected GDP growth over 9% this year and forecasts at least 8% gains in 2009. Most of the boom is due to oil and commodities. Fortunately Nigerians seems to recognize that diversifying the economy beyond oil is necessary to move forward as a nation.
President Yar’Adua has proposed support for companies outside the oil sector in his 2009 budget. But for Nigeria’s media, talk is cheap. They are demanding explicit plans to help entrepreneurs.
