Abstract

The objective of this chapter was twofold: it examined the perceived differences between institution-based and the SAED-based entrepreneurship programs and documented the factors influencing the entrepreneurial intention of corps members in Southwest Nigeria. A total of 352 copies of questionnaire were administered, and 45 in-depth interviews were conducted among corps members that were purposively selected in Lagos, Oyo, and Osun states. The study found that institution-based entrepreneurship knowledge was basically theoretical in that it never gave room for hands-on training that SAED-based entrepreneurship provides corps members with. Also, the findings of the study conformed to the theoretical standpoint that was adopted as it was discovered that the intention of being self-employed was positively and negatively influenced by factors that were demographical, economic, family, social, political, educational, and religious in nature. Conclusions and recommendations were made thereafter.
