Abstract: Human capital development among students have suffered because of lack of entrepreneurial skill acquisition which would have been incorporated into them while still in the university. This study is aimed at investigating the relationship between students’ entrepreneurial skill acquisition and human capital development in state universities in South- Eastern, Nigeria. The study is predicated on Dekeyser’s theory of skill learning (2007). The idea contends that learning a broad range of abilities exhibits a striking resemblance in development from early information representation through early behavioral modifications to ultimately fluent, spontaneous, mostly easy, and highly competent behavior. The study employed descriptive survey research design. The study’s 1325 participants were divided into 307 samples using Taro Yamane’s statistical technique. The test was run at a significance level of 0.05 after the data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study found a substantial and positive correlation between students’ human capital development and skill acquisition at state universities in South-East Nigeria. The study recommended that students acquire entrepreneurial skills so they can create jobs rather than looking for them after graduation.
