Abstract

This project evaluated entrepreneurial interest among university undergraduates in Nigeria and the role of compulsory entrepreneurship education in forging this interest.

Most undergraduates in Nigeria would like to start their own business but only a handful of them currently do so. Compulsory entrepreneurship education stimulates entrepreneurial interest but does not necessarily reinforce it

This research was funded under the Private Enterprise Development in Low-Income Countries (PEDL) Programme
