Abstract
Entrepreneurship education has been identified as a major means of assisting youths and even adult to
acquire desired skills and capacities to be self-reliant or self-employed, particularly to prepare them to
be able to set up their own ventures and manage them profitably. Hence, there is a great need to look at
the challenges in Entrepreneurship education in Nigerian universities and proffer solutions to the
identified problems. The study adopted a review methodology approach of extant literatures and
publications in the last decade. The study revealed that there are several factors impeding the success
of entrepreneurship education in Nigeria, which might be affecting the production of employable
graduates in our universities. The study provided a panacea that will help improve entrepreneurship
education in Nigeria, and create graduates that will not only be job seekers, but will be job makers in
Nigeria. Conclusively, the study also, suggested areas for further studies based on the limitation of the
study.
