Abstract

Despite the scourge of unemployment among university graduates in Nigeria and the potentials of agriculture in employment generation, there is low participation of educated Nigerian youths in the agricultural sector. This study analysed the factors associated with undergraduate students’ perception on self-employment through agricultural enterprises. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select three hundred and seventytwo respondents. Data for the study was obtained with a well-structured questionnaire. Precision counts, frequencies, percentages, and the Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation were used for data analysis. The results reveal a high (68 %) negative perception on agricultural entrepreneurship. This perception was significantly related to the respondents’ sex (0.638), parents’ occupation (0.738), home background (0.737), sources of agricultural information (0.439), and prior interest in agriculture (-0.917) at p
