Abstract Entrepreneurship education has been recognized as a crucial component of the Nigerian curriculum, designed to equip students with self-reliance and job creation skills. However, its successful implementation has largely depended on the availability and adequacy of instructional facilities. This study examined the current state of instructional facilities in Imo State's secondary and tertiary institutions concerning the entrepreneurship education curriculum. Findings revealed significant challenges, including inadequate physical infrastructure, poor access to ICT resources, insufficient funding, and a shortage of qualified instructors. Many schools lacked essential facilities such as standard workshops, business incubation centers, and modern computer laboratories, limiting students' practical exposure to entrepreneurship concepts. Additionally, outdated teaching materials and financial constraints further hindered the effective delivery of entrepreneurship education. The study found that these inadequacies negatively impacted students’ skill acquisition, reduced their interest in entrepreneurship, and contributed to low employability and startup rates among graduates. To address these challenges, the paper recommended increased government funding, public-private partnerships, investment in ICT infrastructure, capacity-building programs for instructors, and regular assessment of instructional facilities. Implementing these measures would enhance the quality of entrepreneurship education, ensuring that graduates acquire the necessary skills to contribute to economic growth and self-sufficiency.
