This was a descriptive survey research design and the population consisted of 325 lecturers from only Faculty of Education in the five Federal Universities from five states in the South-East. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select a total of 98 lecturers as the sample. Well structured questionnaire was used to collect data, rated on a four point scale and it contained 40 items. The instrument was tested for reliability using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and it yielded an index of 0.79 which was adjudged high for measuring the consistency of the items. Mean and SD were used to answer the research questions while t-test was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. From the analysis, it was observed that the entrepreneurial skills needed by the students of universities include innovative, creative, administrative, financial skills among others. It was then recommended that stakeholders should incorporate in curriculum those subjects that will help expose these students to other skill acquisition programmes in addition to entrepreneurship education. |
