Abstract
As a way of dealing with Nigeria’s macroeconomic challenge of unemployment and its
concomitant socio-economic problems, the federal government, in 2006, made entrepreneurship study a
compulsory course for all higher education students irrespective of their area of specialization.
However, studies have shown that the programme is yet to achieve its goals as many Nigerian
graduates still remain unemployed long after graduation. Using Sen’s capability approach, this paper
aims to investigate business incubation as an effective tool for enhancing entrepreneurial capabilities
beyond entrepreneurship education.
