Abstract: Entrepreneurship has become a key driver of economic growth, attracting increasing attention globally. In the African context, including Nigeria, entrepreneurial education is recognized as a crucial intervention to foster entrepreneurial intentions and promote economic progress. This study examines the covariate effect of entrepreneurial education on entrepreneurial intention among graduating students of private universities in Abuja, FCT – Nigeria. The research explores the relationship between independent variables (Need for Achievement, Passion for Business Creation, Risk Propensity, Competitive Aggressiveness, and Self-Efficacy) and combined dependent variables (Entrepreneur Orientation and Entrepreneurial Intention) while controlling for the covariate variable of entrepreneurial education. The findings indicate that the independent variables and entrepreneurial education do not significantly influence Entrepreneurial Orientation and Entrepreneurial Intention. Policymakers and educators should consider broader contextual factors to foster entrepreneurship among graduating students in the Nigerian context.
