Abstract
Despite the innumerable natural resources available in Nigeria for innovative job creation in green entrepreneurship, the rate of youth unemployment continues to escalate uncontrollably. This unpleasant situation stirred up the concern and commitment of the world leaders to embark on policy and practice of innovative and sustainable entrepreneurship education for proper empowerment of youth towards sustainability of the world economy. Business Education, as a vocational program, has not adequately aligned its curriculum policy and practice with the teaching and learning of green entrepreneurship in Nigeria. The study aims to analyze the entrepreneurial skills of Nigerian business education students for sustainability. The study focuses mainly on the ideal policy and innovative instructional practices, such as management and recycling of wastes, commercialization of green products, and engagement in agribusinesses, among others, that can be explored to adequately empower students of Business Education undergraduate programs for the realization of optimum social, economic and environmental sustainability in Nigeria.
