Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
Corrosion directly or indirectly affects everybody and the society at large in different ways to a major obstacle to maximization of technological and economic feats. Nigeria is a petroleum-producing maritimetropical nation with possibility of corrosion preponderances and unpredictability. The problem of corrosion is a majorchallenge she has been facing to utilize her economic potentials and develop to industrial status.Meaningfulentrepreneurship in corrosion managementand control in the country was seen to be a tangible way out of the problem. This was also regarded as a big job avenue of great financial rewards cum personal satisfaction for competent Nigerian graduates from tertiary institutions that had been in search of jobs that were non-existent and employees who had remained unsatisfied with their jobs and or take home pays for the past decades due to poverty, economic downturn, corruption and bad governance in the country. Some capital, good education and manpower in science and technology, and determination to succeed in the face of risks with sincere desire in solving corrosion problems were considered requisite for the entrepreneurship. The general principles of corrosion management and control were reviewed and issues at stake that can make greater entrepreneurial impact in the country highlighted.
