For human and economic development to be achieved certain factors need to come into play, one of being the proliferation of entrepreneurship as a carrier choice. The aim of this study is to examine the influence of Entrepreneurial Learning Environment (ELE), Intrinsic Learners’ Need (ILN) on Entrepreneurial Learning Outcome (ELO) and the mediating relationship of Entrepreneurial Motivation (EM) on the relationship of ELE and ILN on ELO. The population of the study was drawn from three universities (Yusuf MaitamaSule University, Kano, Kano University of Science and Technology and Bayero Univeristy, Kano). A total of 14,446 students formed the population of the study; 345 students constitute the sample size which was drawn using priory sample size calculator and stratified sampling technique was used in selecting the respondents. The data were analysed using structural equation modelling. Findings of the study revealed that ELE is the most important factors that influence students’ ELO and ILN and EM have insignificant influence toward ELO. Therefore, the study recommends that practicing entrepreneurs need to be involved in the teaching of entrepreneurship education.
