Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Entrepreneurship training programs have become central to addressing the challenges of unemployment and economic dependency in Nigeria. These programs aim to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills required to start and manage businesses, contributing to the broader goal of economic self-reliance. Dala Local Government Area (LGA) in Kano State has been at the forefront of promoting entrepreneurship training as a means of enhancing self-reliance among its youth and adults (Suleiman & Adamu, 2023).
Entrepreneurship training not only provides participants with technical skills but also fosters attitudes such as innovation, risk-taking, and resilience, which are essential for business success. However, the effectiveness of such programs in fostering long-term economic self-reliance remains an area of concern, particularly in rural areas like Dala. This study will evaluate the impact of entrepreneurship training on the economic self-reliance of individuals in Dala, focusing on factors such as business success rates, income generation, and job creation (Usman & Ibrahim, 2024).
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the implementation of various entrepreneurship training programs in Dala LGA, there are still questions about their long-term effectiveness in promoting economic self-reliance. Many trained entrepreneurs face challenges such as lack of capital, limited market access, and insufficient business knowledge, which hinder their ability to sustain profitable ventures. This study will examine the extent to which entrepreneurship training leads to lasting economic self-reliance in Dala.
1.3 Objectives of the Study

1.6 Significance of the Study
The findings of this study will be significant to policymakers, development agencies, and community leaders seeking to improve entrepreneurship outcomes in Kano State.
