EXAMINING THE STRUCTURE OF THE INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMME AMONG STUDENTS AT THE LOCAL UNIVERSITY:AN ANALYSIS OF RIVER STATE UNIVERSITY’S SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL CASE
ABSTRACT
The university students’ innovation and entrepreneurship training programme is a vital platform for innovation and entrepreneurship education in Nigerian universities. It is project-based, allowing students to actively engage in project design, execution, and successful completion through project defence. This programme aims to enhance students’ innovative thinking and entrepreneurial abilities and further develop their practical skills. This article analyses the implementation of the innovation and entrepreneurship training programme at River State University of Science and Technology, identifies challenges during project implementation, and explores strategies to address them. The findings provide valuable insights for local universities in promoting innovative practices.
