Abstract

The Nigerian government in her effort to ensure job opportunities for students after graduating from the
tertiary institution introduced a compulsory Entrepreneurship Education course into the curriculum of
tertiary institutions. The government believed that with the acquisition of entrepreneurship skills, students
can set up business enterprises rather than remain jobless for a long period after graduation. This paper
focuses on the National Transformation Agenda as a veritable tool on challenges facing entrepreneurship
education in Federal Polytechnics in South-West Geo-Political Zone. Three research questions were
formulated and a questionnaire tagged “Challenges in Entrepreneurship Education Questionnaire (CEEQ)
was designed to obtain data. The sample consisted of 300 students drawn from three Federal Polytechnics.
Random sampling technique was used to select 100 students from each of the three Polytechnics. Data
collected were analysed using simple percentage and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results
revealed that entrepreneurship education delivered in Federal Polytechnics in South-West Geo-Political
Zones is not challenging enough while lecture method was the prominent way of teaching. It was further
revealed that strategies used in the teaching of entrepreneurship education in the polytechnics will not
significantly influence students’ attitudes towards self-reliance (f cal = 2.260 < f xss=removed xss=removed> Also, the study revealed that to some extent National Transformation Agenda has significant influence on
entrepreneurship education in the Polytechnics (f cal = 4.1172 > f table = 3.840 < P> recommended that Entrepreneurship Education should be encouraged by managing and delivering the
compulsory course in such a way that it will provoke students’ inquisition, knowledge and greater
performance and government should provide adequate funding for effective implementation of the
Programme.
