IMPACT OF INNOVATIVE AND DIVERSIFIED ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION PROGRAMMES ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN RIVERS STATE.
Abstract
In the bid to promote sustainable development in line with the SDGs, entrepreneurship education programmes have been identified as an imperative tool for sustainable development in Rivers State, Nigeria. Entrepreneurship education is a collection of formalized teachings that informs, trains, and educates anyone interested in participating in socio-economic development through a project to promote entrepreneurship awareness, business creation, or small business development. The objectives of entrepreneurship education programmes have not been achieved maximally. There are arising issues of vandalism, theft, fraudulent practices etc. The limitations of entrepreneurship education programmes is significant in the attitude of graduate youths towards white collar jobs, especially in the oil rich regions to which Rivers State belongs. The researchers have observed that there is a decline in entrepreneurial activities among school leavers and graduates which make up a high population of energetic but mostly unemployed youths of the State. This research aims at innovative and diversified entrepreneurship education programmes hinged on sustainable development in Rivers state. This work is geared towards exposing Rivers people to innovative entrepreneurial activities as a means of diversifying from the traditional means of entrepreneurship, through educational institutions in the state in order to achieve sustainable development. Innovative and diversified entrepreneurial activities such as ICT-basedbusiness, reprographic business, green entrepreneurship business, agricultural technology/based business among others and the concepts of entrepreneur, entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship education, challenges of entrepreneurship education in Nigeria and strategies for effective entrepreneurship education will be the focus of this study.
