Abstract Entrepreneurship education is a relatively new phenomenon in Nigerian Universities. This course was first introduced into the undergraduate curriculum of University students in 2006. The focus was to equip graduates with requisite skills for entrepreneurial success after school. The overall objective of the program was to reduce youth unemployment; especially among school leavers, in Nigeria. Several years after introducing the course, graduates unemployment continued to increase. This gave concern on the relevance of the course in Nigeria education. This inability to meet its introduction objectives led to many uncoordinated revisions and changes in the pedagogical structure of the curricula. The paper examines some of the issues and challenges of entrepreneurship education in Nigeria with a view to achieving the overall goal of teaching/learning the course.
