The data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation for research questions so as to achieve the objectives of the study. The findings revealed that, students have good perception of entrepreneurial skills in Business Education ranging from accounting skills, human relation skills, web design skills, desktop publishing skills, Microsoft word skills, photocopying, excel/ spreadsheet skills, type writing skills and communication skills which are needed to become
successful entrepreneurs. However, the findings revealed that, there is a need for Business Education Departments to work on acquisition of power point skills, desktop publishing and web design skills because; students have low satisfaction in these skills when compared with other skills. The study recommends that, well equipped Business Education laboratories should be provided in all the colleges of Education in Lagos State for effective teaching and learning of practical skills leading to entrepreneurial empowerment in Business Education students.
