Abstract
The study specifically aims to investigate the opinion of NCE Social Studies students, male and
female, NCE II and NCE III students on promoting entrepreneurship skills and self-reliance
through Social Studies Education in Kaduna State among others. The research questions and null
hypotheses were stated based on the objectives raised. The study used survey research design and
328 out of the total number of 2186 NCEII and NCEIII Social Studies students of NCE from
Federal College of Education, Zaria and Kaduna state College of Education Gidan-waya, Kaduna
State, were selected through purposive sampling technique as sample in the study. “Social Studies
Questionnaire on Promoting Entrepreneurship Skills and Self-reliance” (SOSQPESS) was used as
data collection instrument. The instrument was duly validated by supervisors. The data analysis
tools were percentage and frequency counts, mean and standard deviation and independent t-test
samples. All hypotheses were tested at 0.05 alpha. The study revealed that there is no significant
difference in the mean opinion scores of NCE students on promoting entrepreneurship skills and
self-reliance through Social Studies education in Kaduna State on the basis of their gender and
study level while significant difference was discovered in the mean opinion scores of Federal and
State COE students on promoting entrepreneurship skills and self-reliance through Social Studies
Education in Kaduna State. In the light of the above, the study recommends among other things
that, there is the need for government and Non – government Organizations (NGOs) to create a
more enabling environment for students to inculcate entrepreneurship culture as well as ensuring
their access to finance, mentorship and other basic needs that would enhance their capacities to
achieve a successful career in entrepreneurship for sustainable socio-economic development of the
society.
