The study aimed at critically examining the nature of training, process and practice of entrepreneurial education in Nigerian Universities when compared with best practice. The comparison was based on what ought to be done drawing from the NUC requirement with regards to facilities and equipment and what is currently in practice. Likewise, the study also relied on previous studies in this regard which serves as a basis for assessment as well. The study found out that the training, processes and practice of entrepreneurial education in some of the Nigerian Universities are very far from standard and in most cases a deviation from expected principles and practice which cannot deliver on the expected entrepreneurial initiatives sufficient to foster the required technical knowledge and skills into the graduates being churn out yearly towards making them entrepreneurs indeed. Therefore, the study recommended that there should be a review of current training processes and practice to meet with global best practice and also ensure that every graduate from the ivory towers in Nigeria graduates with needed skills sufficient to turn them into Entrepreneurs in the event that they cannot secure jobs in their chosen field of study.
