 Anambra Assembly Holds Public Hearing on Landmark Igbo Apprenticeship Bill


By Chizoba Okeke 

'

In a decisive move to reform and modernize one of Igbo society’s most enduring economic traditions, the Anambra State House of Assembly has held a public hearing on the proposed Igbo Apprenticeship Bill, 2024.


The bill, which seeks to formally regulate the 'Igba Boi' system, a time-honored model of mentorship and entrepreneurial training among the Igbo proposes a standardized apprenticeship duration of seven years and mandates basic education for all apprentices.


A bill being sponsored by Honourable Ejike Okechukwu, member representing Anaocha two constituency, said the legislation aims to introduce structure, transparency, and legal safeguards into a system that has, for decades, launched countless youths into successful business ownership.


 Key provisions of the bill include compulsory written agreements between masters and apprentices, the creation of a centralized database of participants, and the establishment of a formal dispute resolution mechanism.


Opening the hearing, Speaker of the House, Right Honourable Somtochukwu Udeze, underscored the significance of the bill in preserving cultural heritage while addressing longstanding gaps. “This initiative will protect all parties involved, discourage abuse, and sustain a practice that is not only cultural but economically strategic,” Udeze said.


In his remarks, Honourable Innocent Ojike, Chairman, House Committee on Commerce, Trade, and Industry, emphasized that regulating the apprenticeship system would enhance investor confidence and align the practice with global best practices.


Stakeholders at the public hearing including market leaders, established business mentors (Masters), and former apprentices (Umuboi) hailed the initiative as a welcome development. Many expressed optimism that the bill would reinforce the legacy of the Igbo apprenticeship model as a powerful engine of economic empowerment across generations.


If passed into law, the Igbo Apprenticeship Bill 2024 could become a model for other states, formalizing a grassroot system that has propelled many from apprenticeship stalls to boardrooms.
