Abstract
This study examined Information Communications and Technology Entrepreneurship Skills required by Economics Education Students for Self-Employment in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of Abuja, Nigeria. The study design employed was a descriptive survey. All 510 Economics Education students enrolled in universities in the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja, Nigeria, make up the study's population. Because of the community's unique features and the researchers' adept management of its size, total population sampling was employed. There are 241 female and 269 male pupils in this group. The research questions were answered using mean scores with standard deviations, and the independent t-test was employed to test the hypotheses at the 0.05 significance level. The findings of this study underscore the critical role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) entrepreneurship skills in equipping Economics Education students for self-employment in the contemporary digital economy and the study conclude that gender does not significantly influence the acquisition or Information and Communication Technology skills required for sustainability. The study recommends that universities offering Economics Education programs should revise their curricula to incorporate ICT entrepreneurship modules. These should include hands-on training in digital skills such as coding, web development, and digital marketing, ensuring that students graduate with practical and market-ready competencies amongst several others.
