Abstract:
Entrepreneurial education is a variable that has been researched on over time. The evaluation of the level and dimension of youth unemployment which was based on secondary data and observations among authors in different places, zones and walks of life as expressed in their comments, as well as, on concrete evidences of unemployment incidence in different parts of Nigeria, indicated that the youth unemployment challenge in the country is enormous and complex and would continue to be, if the situation remains unabated. We therefore emphasized the need to evolve a safe environment that allows for effective school activities and a sustainable educational process. This could only be possible when government educational policies are geared towards a functional education that can lead to job creation and also self-reliance. Entrepreneurship education is a means through which government could attain such development in the society. The challenges of entrepreneurship education were also discussed. Finally, the paper concluded by suggesting that trained personnel in counselling on entrepreneur education and youth unemployment and counselling should be placed in counselling centres to assist the youths engaging in job creating or enhance employment opportunities in Nigeria.
