Exploring Alternative Behavioural Trajectories in Entrepreneurship Education in Universities

Abstract

This Paper explored alternative behavioural trajectories navigable to address entrepreneurship education issues in Nigeria's public universities. Entrepreneurship education's current viability and capacity utilization have not gained the impetus to drive students’ practical application development and add significant value to economic development. This work relied on ethnography using the participant observer method to get relevant contextual specifics to give insights on traversable alternatives that culminate in the much-desired economic development and growth of individuals and the nation at large. It was concluded that behavioural alterations that gravitate towards trajectories that deviate significantly from the dismal state of affairs obtainable in the current pedagogy are the panacea to the apparent quagmire. It was suggested amongst others that driving emotional attachment, improvisation, and the use of alternative sources of funding are avenues of attaining optimal level benefits of entrepreneurship education. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge of entrepreneurship development and knowledge efficiency.
