Abstract: The path to global prosperity, as declared by the world leaders is Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for tackling the problems of rapid destruction of natural resources, envitonmental pollution and climate change. This paper considered Entrepreneurship, Information and Communication Technology Education by looking at the challenges and opportunities of entrepreneurship education. The objective of this paper is to find out the significance of ICT to entrepreneurship education for sustainable development in Nigeria. The paper, however, discussed the concepts of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship education and entrepreneur with the associated characteristics. The evolution and development of entrepreneurship education in Nigeria were delved into. Entrepreneurship education was discussed in relevance to sustainable development. The interaction with some entrepreneurs in Lagos, Ogun and Oyo States revealed that small scale business entrepreneurs are encouraged by using computer-related machines for their business operation. However, the paper concluded that workforce preparation is being slowed down and that entrepreneurship education, as a functional training, can energise the youths for the changing globalisation features. The usefulness of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to entrepreneurs was discussed. This paper recommended that more entrepreneurs should embrace ICT in order to facilitate the operation of their businesses and that government should provide an enabling entrepreneurial environment where emerging entrepreneurs can thrive and innovate for sustainability.
