ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION IN NIGERIA; A TRAINGULAR APPROACH FOR ITS WORKABILITY
Abstract
In the recent time, entrepreneurship has become a topical issue in our national discourse. This discourse has arisen following the fact that a large number of Nigerians especially school leavers cannot find paid employment and thus the need has arisen for this pool of human capital to acquired or train as entrepreneurs, thus, creating in them abilities and skills that will enable them become creators of jobs rather than job seekers. From the afore-mentioned, entrepreneurship could be seen as the parameter for determining the individual taking advantage of opportunities in his or her environment and converting it
into meaningful venture. The paper took a look at the meaning of entrepreneurship education, the objectives of the programme as well factors militating against the programme. Nevertheless, solutions and approaches to solving and making the programme workable were among other issues discussed the paper. Finally, conclusion and recommendations were made.
