Abstract:
The study examined the relationship between entrepreneurship education and unemployment among the youth in Nigeria. It adopts a descriptive research design which was conducted randomly among the selected final year students in the Faculty of Business and Management Studies which consist of three departments namely Accountancy, Banking and Finance, and Business Administration and Management. The questionnaire was the major instrument used to gather the relevant information. The study revealed that entrepreneurship was found to be positive and significant in reducing unemployment among the youth if properly implemented and therefore conclude that skill acquisition through entrepreneurship education should be a continuous process in the curriculum of higher institutions of learning in Nigeria in an attempt to reduce the level at which graduates wait endlessly for white collar jobs that do not exist and government should provide an enabling environment through the provision of security, electricity, and availability of raw materials that will promote the local production of good and serve as encouragement for the young entrepreneurs.
