Abstract
The focus of this study is on the mandatory entrepreneurship course for undergraduate youths in the nation's tertiary institutions. The study revealed that entrepreneurship education imparts entrepreneurial skills and attitudes to students as well as favourably disposes them towards establishing their own businesses. This will empower them to contribute positively toward the nation's economic development. It is therefore recommended that the government on its part should provide a more conducive environment in the forms of quality infrastructural facilities and startup financial support to consummate this initiative of entrepreneurship education.
