| dc.description.abstract | In the world over, the constant increase in the level of unemployment has awakened government at all levels to realize the importance of entrepreneurship education as a stimulant for driving economic growth and development. This work is a review of entrepreneurship education, a General Studies programme of Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo and its relevance to national development. A survey questionnaire was formulated and sent to progressing ex-students of Ajayi Crowther University who are applying the knowledge gained from General Studies (GES) of Entrepreneurship Education rather than their primary field of study in establishing their own businesses. The review showed that entrepreneurship education is a tool that is needed for building soft skills in students, reducing the rate of unemployed university graduates and enhancing economic and national development. The paper recommends a constant review on technical skills training, creation of idea incubators, industrial attachments and programmes relative to students’ field of study. | en_US |
