Abstract
Description
Entrepreneurs are individuals who have a constant feeling of
desperation that is from time to time seen in organizations.
While the number of entrepreneurship education programmes
are increasing, their impact is under-researched and studies
paint an unclear picture of the impact of entrepreneurship
education. This present study presents data on the extent to
which university entrepreneurship education programmes
stimulate the entrepreneurial performance of aspiring entrepreneurs
in Nigeria. Data was collected using a descriptive
cross-sectional quantitative survey conducted among university
students (N ¼ 540) of selected institutions in Nigeria.
Regression Analysis was used in confirming the hypotheses
proposed in the study using the Statistical Package for Social
Sciences (SPSS) version 22. University entrepreneurship education
is confirmed to be a major source of inspirational triggers
that positively impact on entrepreneurial performance of
aspiring entrepreneurs in the selected universities in Nigeria.
