Abstract: | What the Nigerian or any other African trader needs as much as and perhaps even more than capital is the ability to handle what he has to better advantage. He does not only need better transport and banking facilities, but he also needs, probably to a larger extent, more education and training in the relevant fields. This paper indicates the necessity and the urgency of establishing in Nigeria and for Africa at strategic points on the continent a chain of specialized schools for training low-level and middle-level manpower for all the segments of the distributive sector of the Nigerian and, as the case may be, African economy. Such schools, if established, should be restricted to those already in the profession. |
