Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Religious teachings have long had a significant influence on economic behavior, particularly in conservative regions of Nigeria where religious beliefs are tightly woven into daily life. In Bama Local Government Area (LGA) of Borno State, religious institutions play an essential role in shaping the attitudes of individuals towards entrepreneurship, wealth creation, and economic activities. Both Islam and Christianity, the major religions in the region, have specific teachings that promote self-reliance, hard work, and the ethical pursuit of wealth.
This study aims to evaluate how religious teachings in Bama influence entrepreneurial behavior and economic activities. By examining the ways in which religious institutions encourage or discourage entrepreneurship, the research will shed light on the broader role of religion in fostering local economic growth and poverty reduction. It will also explore the relationship between religious principles and the development of entrepreneurial mindsets among local residents.

While religious teachings have a profound influence on community values and individual behaviors, the specific impact of these teachings on entrepreneurship in Bama is not well-documented.
