ABSTRACT
The ultimate objective of this paper is to provide insight into the various factors that help shape the intention of our teeming youth to take an interest in Entrepreneurial actions for them to be self employed and self reliant. Like other Developing countries, the Nigerian government has introduced several policies to eradicate poverty by encouraging self employment among youths. One such policy is the introduction of entrepreneurship education into the Curriculum of Higher Education, which aims to promote and teach entrepreneurship among university students. Restructuring the Nature of the Nigerian Curriculum that is more of a theory to one that is more practical might enhance the participation of Nigerian graduates in entrepreneurial activities. This affects their intention toward starting a business. This paper presents a theoretical framework for the relationship between Curriculum and Entrepreneurial Intention in Nigerian Universities. If validated, the model would have policy implications for the government, Universities and other stakeholders in the decision-making process because of the need to deal with unemployment and issues of curriculum and subject outcomes, respectively.
Keywords: Curriculum, Entrepreneurial Intention, Entrepreneurship Education.
