Abstract

Among other benefits of entrepreneurship education are understanding steps essential in business start-up, enhancing awareness of career and entrepreneurial option, idea generation and assessment of feasibility of ideas, understanding basic financial concepts to mention a few. It has been observed however that despite all efforts made by government and tertiary education regulatory bodies to ensure effective running of entrepreneurship programmes, there still exist so many missing links as a result of poor management by the school regulatory authorities. These missing links affect the outcome of the programme in Nigerian Higher education institutions. For these, this study was designed to investigate Strategies for Effective Management of Entrepreneurship Education in Nigerian Tertiary Schools for Poverty Eradication and National development. The study was a descriptive survey guided by three research questions.
