Challenges of Entreprenuership Education for Persons with Disabilities: The Nigerian Experience

Abstract

This paper focuses on challenges of entrepreneurship education for persons with disabilities with particular reference to Nigerian experience. Entrepreneurship education for persons with disabilities is conceptually defined for the purpose of clarification. The benefits and the state of entrepreneurship education are presented. Some challenges of entrepreneurship education for persons with disabilities in Nigeria are examined. They include instructional methods, physical and psycho-social barriers. It is observed that entrepreneurship education in most Nigerian institutions of learning is offered at an introductory level. It is only when persons with disabilities are involved and included in entrepreneurship education that their potential value can be realised for their economic empowerment and that of the nation.
