THE APPRENTICE ENTREPRENEUR PEOJECT
IMU – AHIA OR IMU OLU is the name for the apprenticeship system that purports a responsibility on established business men in a town, street, or local areas in Igbo land to pick up teenagers – young adults from their homes and give an informally formal, but raw and practical cutthroat business education. These apprentices are not paid; they are afforded accommodation, transportation where necessary, feeding and clothing. The duration of the apprenticeship takes roughly 5 – 7 years after which, the boy is as good as his master, and he sets him up with some cash and goods to start his own shop.
