AB  - Education is the most powerful weapon which
can be used to affect any society positively.
Entrepreneurship and adult education are identified as
imperative and transformative tools for national
development and poverty eradication in Nigeria. This is
the key factor for increasing economic efficiency and
social consistency by increasing the value and efficiency
of the labour force and the basic instrument for poverty
eradication. The paper, therefore, recommended that
classroom work is basically theory. Undergraduate
students should be mandated to go for apprenticeship
training with a successful entrepreneur for at least a
period of three months. This will help them to build
confidence to take risk in career during and after
graduation due to the desire to acquired entrepreneurial
skills needed to succeed. The apprenticeship period of
training may be during the long vacation period.
