The target of this investigation is focused on entrepreneurship teaching as a tool for dropping joblessness and promoting sustainable development in Nigeria. It is specifically to examine the extent entrepreneurship education programs are being integrated into the curricula, ascertain if entrepreneurship significantly serves as tool through which joblessness can drop in Nigeria, investigate how entrepreneurship education enhances employability of graduates, explore factors that affects implementation and outcomes of entrepreneurship education programs, and identify best practices and strategies for enhancing entrepreneurship education in Nigeria. Human Capital Entrepreneurship Theory by Becker (1975) was used for the study. Survey descriptive design was adopted, with Taro Yamane sampling method; we got four-hundred (400) participants. Self-structured questionnaire was issued to the respondent of which same four-hundred (400) responses were retrieved and validated for the study. The study made use of descriptive analysis and inferential statistics where data from field survey was analyzed using simple percentage, mean and standard deviation presented in frequencies and tables. Findings of the study concluded that entrepreneurship education is a powerful tool for addressing the persistent challenge of unemployment in Nigeria. This investigation reveals the crucial function of entrepreneurship education in equipping individuals, particularly the youth, with the important skills, knowledge, and mindset to become self-reliant and create job opportunities, rather than relying on the limited employment options available in the formal sector. The findings reveal that a well-structured entrepreneurship curriculum can foster creativity, innovation, and problem-solving abilities, all of which are essential for thriving in today's competitive economic environment. Therefore, the study recommends that Nigerian tertiary institutions should incorporate more practical entrepreneurship courses in their curricula. These courses should focus on hands-on experience in business creation, management, and innovation to equip students with the skills necessary to start and sustain successful businesses after graduation. Thus, the Nigerian government should provide increased financial support for entrepreneurship education initiatives. This includes offering grants, scholarships, and funding to institutions that implement entrepreneurship programs, as well as setting up incubation centres where students can receive mentorship and resources to turn their ideas into businesses.
