The School of Wealth is a vocational school founded in the year 2009 by Dr. Nick Ohizu by divine mandate in the continent of Africa starting from Zimbabwe”.
The school was inspired by the economic meltdown of 2009 in Zimbabwe which saw a lot of working class people finding themselves in abject poverty after they watched their life savings, source of income and their source of livelihood as in their jobs and salaries fail them woefully within a short period of national economic crisis.
Dr. Nick, a seasoned and “Pastorpreneur” with his vast experience acquired as a protégé of an excellent successful entrepreneur in Lagos during the Military rule in Nigeria which brought Nigerians into a 15 year period of austerity, saw an opportunity to use his tried and tested Principles which helped him succeed in Nigeria to help Africans to overcome as well.
The principles proved to be successful as more than 1600 entrepreneurs have been released into the marketplace since 2009 having gone through the school of wealth and are now engaged in business and creating employment with 90% success rate.
