    Abstract This study investigated the influence of entrepreneurship education on the acquisition of entrepreneurial skills and intentions among Business Education students in tertiary institutions in Nigeria’s North-Eastern zone. The research was motivated by the persistent unemployment among graduates, despite mandatory entrepreneurship education in the curriculum. Two research questions and two hypotheses were formulated for the study at a significance level of 0.05. A mixed-methods explanatory design was employed, integrating quantitative data from 269 students using a structured questionnaire and qualitative insights from 11 class representatives through interviews. Findings revealed that entrepreneurship education significantly enhanced students’ technical competencies such as communication proficiency, problem-solving, and ICT application with a weighted mean of 3.07. It also positively shaped entrepreneurial intentions, including students’ desire to start businesses and develop leadership and opportunity-recognition skills, with a weighted mean of 3.16. A significant gender difference was found in technical skill acquisition (p < 0.05), favouring male students, while state-based analysis showed varied levels of influence on entrepreneurial intention. The study concluded that entrepreneurship education is a vital catalyst for job creation, self-reliance, and national development. It recommends improved pedagogical approaches and infrastructure support in tertiary institutions to bolster entrepreneurial capacity and reduce youth unemployment in Nigeria. Keywords: Entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial skills, entrepreneurial intention, Business Education, technical skills, tertiary institutions, North-Eastern Nigeria.

    ASSESSMENT OF BUSINESS EDUCATION CURRICULUM CONTENTS FOR STUDENTS’ REQUISITE JOB SKILLS ACQUISITION IN COLLEGES OF EDUCATION IN NORTH CENTRAL, NIGERIA Joshua S. Mamman, Ph.D, Haruna Hassan Abstract The study assessed business education curriculum contents for students’ requisite job skills acquisition in North-Central, Nigeria (BECCSRJSAQ) colleges. Two research questions were used to guide the study, while two null hypotheses were formulated and tested at a 0.05 level of significance. The population for this study was made up of 89 Lecturers 823 male students 967 Female students the Total is 1879 which comprises final year students and lecturers from six institutions offering business education as of the 2017/2018 academic session formed the population of the study. Mean and standard deviations were used to answer the stated research questions, using a benchmark of 2.5 as a criterion for agreement. Meanwhile, a t-test was used to test the null hypotheses of the study. The findings of the study revealed, among others that business education curriculum contents in colleges of education in North Central, Nigeria do not provide students with essential skills required for their employability after graduation. Given the findings, one of the recommendations made among others was that the business education curriculum needs an in-depth review that would enable the graduates to respond to challenges in the labour market and field of work. This should be done by selecting content consistent with emergent and anticipated needs, namely ICT competency, conflict resolution, economic survival, and entrepreneurship. Etc. Based on the findings and conclusion of the study, it was recommended among others that the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) and other agencies of education should develop a benchmark for the curriculum of business education that will emphasize relevant skills and competencies. This will help colleges of education take vital initiatives to review the attributes needed by business education graduates as well as to support generic skills development.
