Entrepreneurial Training for the Nigerian Armed Forces and Its Significance in Post-Retirement Era

Abstract

The chapter focuses on entrepreneurial training (ET) in the Nigerian armed forces and its significance for post-retirement era and discussed the opportunities and challenges for self-reliance. The chapter is qualitative and analytical in approach. It sourced data largely from secondary sources including reputable journals, books, book chapters, monographs, and records, and analysed through content analysis. Though it remains a much underemphasised area in most organisations, ET of the armed forces is the main fulcrum for their retirement preparation, if they are to achieve self-reliance as veterans. The chapter revealed that the retirement training provided for the armed forces differs from one country to the other.
