EDUCATION STUDENTS’ ENTREPRENEURSHIP SKILLS ACQUISITION AND THE ATTAINMENT OF
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN PORT HARCOURT
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Nigeria,
like any other developing country is highly sensitive to the need of providing
vocational and technical education to her teaming population in order to equip
them with saleable skills. The complexities of modern societies demand a type
of education that can equip the individuals with knowledge that can make them
highly functional. The National Policy on Education (2004) highlighted
Nigeria’s desire to achieve her national goals through education; hence, the
need for acquisition of appropriate skills, abilities and competence both
mental and physical as equipment for the individual to live and also contribute
to development of the society.
Business
education is by nature almost totally economic-oriented, and its contribution
is significant to the realization of the transformation agenda. One of the two
aspects of business education, “basic business”, contributes to economic
literacy and therefore to the general education of everyone. Basic business
education is that broad area of knowledge that with a country’s enterprise
system identifies and explains the roles of business a nation’s economic
institution and provides content and experiences that prepare individuals for
effective participation as citizens, workers and consumers in nation’s society
(Osuala, 2009). Quality Business education is vital in the programme of
services delivery in the economic vision of transformation agenda of Nigeria.
While entrepreneurship education can turn around the economic fortunes of the
country and reduce the poverty level (Olorunmolu & Olufunwa, 2008).
Etonyeaku (2009) affirmed that business education has a formidable force that
will equip individuals with appropriate skills, knowledge, abilities and
competencies that will enable them to be self-employed and self-reliant which
will lead to sustainable economic development.
Business
education is an aspect of vocational and technical education which is used as a
term to refer to those educational processes involving the study of techniques,
related sciences, acquisition of practical skills attitudes and knowledge
relating to occupation in vocational sectors of economic and social life
(Etonyeaku, 2009). While entrepreneurship education according to Olufunwa
(2009) is a specialized training given to students of vocational and technical
education to acquire the skills, ideas and managerial abilities and
capabilities for self-employment rather than being employed for pay. In the
same vein, Olurunmolu & Olufunwa in Ezemoyih, (2011) opined that
entrepreneurship education is the type of education that involves the
acquisition of skills, ideas and management abilities necessary for
self-reliant, and can turn around the economic fortunes of the country and
reduce poverty level.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
For many
developing countries, development of entrepreneurial skills has been a powerful
engine of economic growth and wealth creation, and is crucial for improving the
quality, number and variety of employment opportunities for the poor. It has
several multiplier effects on the economy, spurs innovation, and fosters
investment in people, which is a better source of competitive advantage than
other natural resources, which can be depleted. Acquiring entrepreneurial
skills by business education students will enable them to create new
enterprises, new commercial activities, and new economic sectors. They generate
jobs for others; they produce goods and services for society; they introduce
new technologies and improve or lower cost outputs; and they earn foreign
exchange through export expansion or substitution of imports.
According to
(Abdullahi, 2008) for countries to accelerate their economic growth and
development, it is necessary for them to build up critical mass of first
generation entrepreneurs because development is now being linked more and more
to entrepreneurs. It stands as a vehicle to improve the quality of life for
individuals, families and to sustain a healthy economy and environment. This
can lead to economic development and the advancement private enterprises.

1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Business
education is a skill-based course which inculcates entrepreneurial skills in
the recipient. Entrepreneurship on the other hand, deals with creative
identification and utilization of business opportunities. This paper
establishes that Business education has the potentials of promoting
entrepreneurship in Nigeria since it could lead to the acquisition of skills
for identifying viable investment opportunities, proper marketing, financial
management, proper management and avoidance of business failure. The
implication of this work is that, for Nigeria to encourage entrepreneurship,
reduce unemployment and help the practicing entrepreneurs to be successful and
achieve the aim of making their ventures to be going-concerns, Business
education should be taken serious and highly encouraged; otherwise, the desire
of Nigeria to encourage self-employment through entrepreneurship may end up as
a mirage.
