Abstract
Youth empowerment is one of the major concerns of Nigerian government like any other developing countries all over the world. It is the reasons why it needs to encourage its youths to be engaged in entrepreneurial activities with the ultimate objective of becoming self-employed and self-reliant. Similarly in Nigeria, the government has introduced several policies aimed at eradicating poverty by encouraging self-employment among youths. One of such policies is the introduction of entrepreneurship education into the curriculum of higher education which is aimed at promoting and inculcating entrepreneurship amongst the students of higher learning. Hence, this study aims at investigating the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO), entrepreneurial education (EE) and entrepreneurial intention (EI) among undergraduate students at Nigerian Universities. A total of 74 valid questionnaires from the students were used and the study find out that, both EO and EE has direct positive relationship with EI. The study also has both theoretical and practical contributions. Finally, the study suggests direction for future research.
