STRATEGIC
MANAGEMENT OF CHALLENGES FACING ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION IN UNIVERSITIES
ABSTRACT
The study
investigates strategic management of challenges facing entrepreneurship
education in universities, North central states of Nigeria. The focus of the
study was on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunity and threats in the
management of entrepreneurship education in the universities. A descriptive
survey design was adopted for the study. The sample for the study was composed
through a multi-stage sampling technique. This gave a sample of 763 respondents
used for the study. Based on the review of literature, four research questions
and four null hypotheses guided the study. A questionnaire titled,
Entrepreneurship Education Strategic Management Questionnaire (EEdSMQ) was
designed and used for the study. This instrument was validated and the overall
reliability ascertained to be 0.76. From data collected, mean and standard
deviation were used to answer the research questions while T-test statistic was
used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Results show
that the strength of entrepreneurship education in universities among others
includes availability of funds by the government and for in-service training of
entrepreneurship lecturers; and high enrolment of students for the EED
programme. It was found that universities have weaknesses in the management of
entrepreneurship education, but they also have opportunities of managing
entrepreneurship education. Results further show that there is no significant
difference between the mean responses of lecturers and coordinators on the
strength, weakness, opportunities and threats to entrepreneurship education in
the Universities. Based on this, the work recommends that, the universities
authorities should make provision for lecturers to go for workshops or seminars
so as to be exposed to current trends in EED programme. The Federal Government
of Nigeria should maintain a policy aimed at making adequate fund available for
entrepreneurship education in the universities, and a supervisory team should
be set up to take the responsibility of maintaining a judicious expenditure of
such funds. The government should also set up a blueprint on punishment of
offenders for misappropriation of entrepreneurship education fund. University
authorities should be equipped with entrepreneurial centres to expose lecturers
and students to practical aspects of EED. Firms and industries should be more
willing to accept students for industrial training as it strengthen the
students’ interest in entrepreneurship education programme.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background
to the Study
The standard
of education and its functionality has been a major concern for
educational
administrators in Nigeria, especially in this 21st century. This is probably
due to global interest in education which has been identified as a means of
development by the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) targeted towards
eradication of poverty across the globe. In a bid to improve educational
standards in Nigeria, different governments had come up with different policies
in education, all aiming at solving inherent social and economic problems like
arm-robbery, kidnapping, hostage taking, and graduate unemployment amongst
others. Literature is replete with the fact that many Nigerian graduates leave
the university without jobs and with little or no hope of securing any for many
years. For instance, Dabalen, Oni and Adekola (2000) observed that,
unemployment among graduates in Nigeria is high, and their prospects for job
have been worsened over time and without hope. They recycle themselves as
postgraduates. Others without such opportunity and no hope of self-sustenance
engage in various anti-social and nefarious activities such as cultism, armed
robbery and insurgency (Soludo, 2006). These challenges, according to Mando and
Akaan (2013) are common among university graduates in the North central states
like Kogi, Benue, Taraba, Plateau and Kwara. As a result, several graduates of
Benue State University and University of Agriculture, both in Makurdi, have
indulged in acts of cultism, armed-robbery and other vices not worthy of
university graduates.
