Abstract:
As more graduates from Nigeria's public and private colleges enter the
workforce each year, graduate unemployment has become a serious issue for the
country. The current unemployment situation may be alleviated by widening the
labour market, and entrepreneurship would let these fresh graduates start their
venture. The general objective of this paper was to determine what significant factors
affect students' decisions to start their own businesses. Using a case study of students
from the University of Lagos, the innovative propensities of college students were
evaluated. To learn what characteristics of entrepreneurship inspire young people to
pursue entrepreneurial professions, a descriptive study design was employed to
collect data about people's opinions and ideas. We will survey UNILAG students,
Nigeria utilizing a closed-ended survey instrument to demonstrate its empirical
validity. The results of this research will help to pinpoint the main inspirations for
student entrepreneurship. Most of the information utilised in this study was gathered
from original sources. The primary data sources for this study will be determined by
the participants who were chosen to complete the questionnaire. They are students
from the University of Lagos distributed around the city who are looking for
information that cannot be acquired directly.
According to, entrepreneurship need to be taught and practised in real life, not
as a separate topic. Nowadays, organisations often include entrepreneurship as a part
of general management programmes. The procedure for launching a new venture
constitutes a sizable amount of entrepreneurship education. Students may utilise
these methods or frameworks to evaluate business opportunities, develop business
strategies, and then put those plans into practise in real-world scenarios. At the
university level, there is also study on the theoretical elements of entrepreneurship,
with a focus on the environmental and psychological variables that may influence it.
