INTRODUCTION There is no doubt that education is the bedrock of every society and one of the tools for building a country. In order to achieve higher quality education, the key players in the sector, that is teachers, the students, as well as the environment must work harmoniously. Education in Nigeria today centre around the quality of education imparted to the citizenry and the relevance of that education to the individual in particular and the whole country at large, which is why attention is increasingly focused on the quality of existing teachers with greater emphasis on potential teachers. This is so because nothing can be as important to learning as the quality of teachers in training. Educational institutions perform significant functions of providing learning experiences to lead their students from the darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge. It is well known that the quality and extent of learning achievement are determined primarily by the teacher competence, sensitivity and teacher motivation. Business education is an educational process of which its main goal is to prepare people for the field of work. It would make anyone who goes through this field of study to become capable employees, employers or self-employed individual who managed self-business enterprise. In Nigeria today, business education subjects are offered in both junior and senior secondary school levels to impact vocational skills. Therefore, it is expected that the teachers in training will have to acquire all the necessary skills required to impact the students correctly.
