Abstract
The increasing rate of unemployment, poverty and dependence among Nigerian university products had necessitated the introduction of entrepreneurship education for economic security. This study investigated Management of Entrepreneurship Education for Economic Security in Universities in Cross River State. Two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Ex -post facto design was adopted for the study. Forty (40) core and general managers from the two universities made up the population. Since the population was small, the entire 40 core and general managers were used and they responded to the questionnaire. The researchers developed an instrument called “Management of Entrepreneurship Education for Economic Security Questionnaire” (MEEESQ) for data collection. Data collected were analyzed with Pearson Product Moment Correlation Analysis and Independent t-test statistical techniques. Results revealed that there is a significant relationship between management of entrepreneurship education and economic security. Conventional and specialized universities do not differ in their management of entrepreneurship education for economic security. It was recommended that priority should be accorded to the management of entrepreneurship education in universities for economic security. This will equip students with skills for business and economic stability. DOI: 10.5901/jesr.2015.v5n2p261
