The study examined the connection between entrepreneurial curriculum in Nigerian Universities and entrepreneurial intention of graduates. It was set out to investigate if entrepreneurship education curriculum in higher institutions can necessarily educate and train undergraduates to acquire entrepreneurial skills for the purposes of reducing the high level of unemployment in Nigeria and curb social vices. The un-employability nature of Nigerian graduates has been linked to poor implementation of entrepreneurial curriculum as well as the inherent deficiencies in the curriculum contents. Relevant literatures were surveyed and entrepreneurial curriculum contents of several Universities in Nigeria reviewed. Findings from the study showed that there is a strong, positive and significant connection between entrepreneurial curriculum and graduates’ entrepreneurial intentions, and that entrepreneurial curriculum contents of Nigerian higher institutions have the potentials of arousing entrepreneurial intention amongst Nigerian graduates. Arising from the findings of the study, it was recommended that the entrepreneurship education curriculum in Nigerian Universities should be re-designed and fortified to accommodate technological and digital changes that are sweeping through the 21st century entrepreneurship practices, and that innovative courses like digital and electronic marketing, information and communication technology, computer programming, etc., should be infused into the curriculum to equip students with technological skills that are in hot demand today and in the nearest future. Conventional vocational training courses like baking, cooking, beads-making, and hairdressing should be synchronized with technology-related skills like computer programming, software design, hardware repairs and maintenance, cyber security, graphic and web design to acquaint students with the latest digital technologies.
