dc.description.abstractThe guilds system is an occupational based economic practice for the promotion of enterprise. It symbolized an empowerment or credit scheme for the members of the merchant class. For Ilorin Emirate, the guild system was a pre-colonial economic system that was sustained up to the colonial era and beyond. By using relevant source materials, the study focuses on indigenous crafts in colonial Ilorin Province. The trust of our exercise therefore is to critically analyze these traditional guild systems with a view to bringing it into limelight, since the modern industries had failed to provide employment for the hundreds of thousands of graduates coming out of our schools. In view of this, the study concludes that the various old guilds need to be encouraged and developed to perform the necessary role of jointly training and employing our young school leavers.en_US
