ABSTRACT
The study investigated the awareness level of entrepreneurship education as well as entrepreneurial aspiration of Ogun State tertiary institutions students. A total of 300 students selected through the purposive sampling technique from the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta and Moshood Abiola Polytechnic participated in the study. Two research questions and two hypotheses were raised, tested and answered at .50 level of significance. Two self developed and validated questionnaires were the major instruments used for data collection. The t-test statistics, Pearson Moment Correlation and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used in data analysis. Findings from the study revealed that majority of the students have high level of awareness of entrepreneurship education, and there exists a positive and significant relationship between student’s level of awareness and entrepreneurial aspiration. It was recommended among others that a national body should be established to promote entrepreneurship education and that entrepreneurship education should be formally incorporated into the curriculum of higher education in Nigeria.
