Four research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted a descriptive research de- sign that made use of 40 item structured questionnaire. The population for the study was 238 respondents. The questionnaire was face-validated by three experts. Cronbach Alpha method was used to determine the reliability of the items and a coefficient of 0.75 was obtained. The ques- tionnaire was administered on 238 respondents by the researchers with the help of three re- search assistants trained by the researchers. Two hundred and thirty-eight copies of the ques- tionnaire were returned and considered valid. The analysis was done using mean for research questions and t-test statistic for the hypotheses. The findings revealed that the 40 entrepreneurial skill needs were required by the graduates for self sustainability.
