For many developing countries, entrepreneurship has been a powerful engine of economic growth and wealth creation, and is crucial for improving the quality number and variety of employment opportunities for the poor. It has several multiplier effects on the economy, spurs innovation, and fosters investment in people, which is a better source of competitive advantage than other natural resources, which can be depleted. Entrepreneurs create new enterprises, new commercial activities, and new economic sectors. They generate jobs for others; they produce goods and services for society; they introduce new technologies and improve or lower cost outputs; and earning. The established of Technology Incubation (TI) has brought multiplier effects such as employment generation and wealth creation. In the light of lack of data on incubation activities in Africa, more so for Nigeria, the paper highlights the contributions of TI to jobs creation and wealth generation in Nigeria.
