Abstract

Persistent unemployment issue in the country demands a
drastic solution from all stakeholders in Nigeria project.
This study examined the perceived impacts of planning and
organizing of learning environment for entrepreneurial
education in Osun State University (UniOsun). The
participants comprised 300 undergraduates drawn
randomly from three of the six campuses of UniOsun. A
well modified instrument was used for data collection. The
findings revealed that the content delivery of
entrepreneurial education programme in UniOsun was well
delivered in terms of equipping students with skill of
recognition of opportunity, networking skills and making
professional contacts, and creativity; but less adequate with
reference to enhanced leadership and communication skills
and equipping students to become independent problem
solvers. well valued in the society, others felt otherwise
Besides, students’ perceptions of the relevance of
entrepreneurial education programme for job creation was
poor; but less supportive in terms of limited number of
instructors for training programmes, and lacking in
creative development of students. Hence, it was
recommended, among others, that the school management
should increase the level of attention paid to the
entrepreneurial areas that were perceived to be
inadequately delivered in UniOsun.
