Abstract:
This study provides understanding of entrepreneurial intention of undergraduates.
It reports findings from qualitative data retrieved from self

administered
questionnaires to final year students of Usmanu Danfodio University Sokoto that
were selected through random sampling. Analytical techniques used include
frequency, percentages and logit regression to know the impact of entrepreneurship
education on the intention of students to be self-employed.
Finally, the study found
that exposure of students to entrepreneurship education did not influence their
intention to be self

employed due to the fact that entrepreneurship education is a
new course and also found other factors such as age, faculty, finance,
tribe which
had a significant impact on entrepreneurship intention of undergraduates and that
despite the knowledge of entrepreneurship education as a contributory factor
towards self-employment, undergraduates require additional support to overcome
