DEVELOPING NIGERIA HUMAN CAPITAL THROUGH MUSIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Abstract

Entrepreneurship has to do with an individual’s ability to organise, manage and assume the risks of a business enterprise. Such ability eventually earns such an individual means of livelihood and recognition in the society. This by implication portrays music entrepreneurship as that which deals with starting or organizing commercial music enterprise (difficult project or activity that requires effort), especially one that involves financial risk. Human capital on the other hand, supplies physical labour, technical and professional skills, which are germane to the efficient and effective planning of developmental activities in the economy of a nation. Both have a symbiotic relationship. This paper therefore sets out to highlight, the usefulness and importance of music entrepreneurship, its place in the development of Nigerian human capital, and possibly looks into ways of improving and encouraging music entrepreneurship in Nigeria and utilizing its potentials for the betterment of the nation.
