The population constituted of seven federal universities and 25,087 four hundred level undergraduate students. Five Federal Universities and 1,826 undergraduate students were drawn from the population using a multistage stratified sampling technique. The instruments for data collection were Observations Checklists on Adequacy of Facilities for Implementing General Studies Entrepreneurship Education (OCAFIGSTEE) and Observation Checklist on Availability of Materials for Implementing General Studies Entrepreneurship Education (OCAMIGSTEE). The instruments were subjected to face and content validity and scrutinized by three experts in Curriculum Studies, Business Management and Test, Measurement and Evaluation.
