ABSTRACT: 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.
