Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship Development Charles Ukemenam (Fcib)

Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship Development: Tools for Wealth Creation, is a book which is greatly in demand especially in present day 21st century when millions of school leavers cannot find ready-made jobs, anymore. Every year, universities and other higher institutions turn out thousands of graduates who cannot gain employment in offices because vacancies no longer exist to absorb new graduates, hence the urgent need to think outside the box. The purpose of this book therefore is to teach unemployed graduates, retrenched or retired workers, and others the importance of financial literacy for people wishing to embrace self- employment (or entrepreneurship), because white- collar jobs no longer exist. The book is properly designed and structured to fill this yawning gap in our country- and the world today. Robert Kiyosaki, a renowned American investor and Management Consultant wrote that: "illiteracy, both in words and numbers, is the foundation of financial struggle. Something is misunderstood; the rich are rich because they are more literate in different areas than people who struggle financially. In conclusion, he said..... "So, if you want to be rich and maintain your wealth, it is important to be financially, literate in words, as well as numbers". I agree totally and wholly with Mr. Kiyosaki, the renowned investor cum Management Consultant.
