Background of the Study
Business education is a course that prepares for entry into an advancement in jobs within business and it is equally important because its prepare students to handle their own business affairs and to function intelligently as consumers and citizens in a business economy. It is an educational program that equips an individual with functional and suitable skills, knowledge, attitude and value that would enable him/her operate in the environment he/she finds himself/herself. It is therefore, to note that the major objectives of business education are to provide employment. Business education graduates are men or women who have complete business education program in the university. The first task is to teach and participate in business in order to educate others and to sustain themselves. Business education is form of training which helps to achieve all the aims of education at any level of learning. Business education include education for office occupation, distribution and marketing occupation, teaching business subjects, business administration and economics understanding. According Adamu (2008), business education is that education which assists student to develop positive attitude, innovation, and skills for reliance, rather than depending on the government for employment. This will produce graduates with self-confidence and capacity for independent through discovering new information leading to economic development. 2 Emaraton and Obundike (2008) in Agu (2006) opined that business education is the type of education designed to change the orientation and attitude of the recipients and in the process will equip them with skills and knowledge to enable start and manage business enterprise. Unemployment especially among the Youth has become a global challenge. There appears has become no country in the world that is not affected directly or indirectly by the challenges of unemployment. The peaceful and prosperous nation suffers from illegal migration and terrorisms from nation that is plagued by high level of unemployment rates and terrorism. Education has always been canvassed as one of the most visible ways out of poverty but this assertion is becoming invalid with the increasing number of unemployed university graduates. It is now obvious that except citizenry is exposed to the right education, unemployment would remain unabated. Entrepreneurship is considered to be a key factor in promoting economic development, innovation, competitiveness, wealth and value creation. Entrepreneurship is the willingness and ability of an individual to seek out an investment opportunity in an environment and able to establish, manage and sustain a business enterprise successfully based on the identified opportunities so as to meet the ever changing needs of the society. Entrepreneurship education is an education that plays a very vital role in addressing the challenges posted by unemployment in the country(Nigeria). In order to make Nigerian graduates more resourceful and self-reliance, Federal Ministry of Education introduced entrepreneurship education into curricula of the universities, polytechnics, and colleges of 3 education through the regulatory and supervisory agencies- National Universities Commission (NUC), National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE). This becomes expedient in order to offer a realistic approach to solving the endemic problem of unemployment facing the nation. Thus, entrepreneurship education is developing since being made a compulsory course for all students in three hundred level of tertiary education students irrespective of student’s area of specialization.
