Abstract

This work specifically concerned on the role ICT in entrepreneurship education for global employability and competitiveness in Nigeria. The purpose of this paper is to find out the role of Information Communication Technology in entrepreneurship education for global employability and competitiveness in Nigeria in the new normal. A large proportion of young graduates in most African countries exist without clear job prospects. Self-employment is the potential answer to issue of entrepreneurship education.  However, this necessitates the introduction of entrepreneurship education for global employability and in Nigeria in the new normal. ICT should be seen as an ideal tool to accelerate the development, growth and process of Nigeria’s entrepreneurship programs in the new normal. It has also been discovered that restricting factors such as irregular power loss, shortage of skilled technicians/repairers, availability of insurance, emergencies, and uncertainty are barriers that any potential entrepreneur will overcome. Among other issues, the following suggestions were made among other; that the government subsidizes these ICT resources imports to minimize the expense of such tools to enable them to remain in business and the government should be health insurance for these ICT businesspersons in the event of injuries, fraud and natural catastrophe.
