创业意向是影响企业家精神形成、成长和发展的重要因素之一。它促进自力更生，并带来主动性。另一方面，董事会被视为发达经济体和新兴经济体经济增长和发展的增长引擎。如今，关于创业发展在社会中的重要作用的学术讨论和政策倡议越来越多。最近因2008-2009年金融危机而导致的失业以及全球范围内失业率的增加进一步证实了这一点。地球仪。在尼日利亚，官方失业率约为24%，而46.5%的青年人口失业。毕业生的失业率从2003年的25.6%上升到2011年的42.7%。这一不受欢迎的事态发展需要学术界和政府一级的协调努力。本文的目的是调查尼日利亚大学生的创业意向。这将有助于确定决定行为的创业意图以及衡量受访者创业意识的必要性。本文以计划行为理论的修正版作为研究创业意向的主要框架。从Abubakar Tafawa Balewa大学（ATBU）抽取了205份样本。使用结构方程模型对数据进行分析。研究结果表明，创业态度、主观规范和行为控制力对创业情绪具有显著的预测作用。此外，还发现其他间接关系也很重要。总体而言，结果表明，该模型拟合的数据很好。
Entrepreneurial intention (EI) is one of the major contributing factors to the formation, growth and development of entrepreneurship. It promotes self reliance and brings about initiatives. Entreprenuership on the other hand, has been considered as an engine of growth for economic growth and development of developed and emerging economies. Acadamic discussions and policy initiatives are increasing nowadays on the vital role of entrepreneurial development in a society. This has been buttressed by the recent loss of jobs due to 2008-2009 financial crisis as well as increasing unemloyment across the globe. In Nigeria, the official rate of unemployment is around 24 percent while 46.5 percent of the youth population are unemployed. The unemployed rate among gradutes has increased from 25.6 percent in 2003 to 42.7 percent in 2011. This unwelcome development requires a concerted effort at academic and governmental levels. The objective of this paper is to examine the entreprenuerial intenton among University students in Nigeria. This will help to identify entreprenuerial intention which determines behaviour as well as the need to gauge entrepreneurial awareness among the respondents. The paper uses a modified version of Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as the main framework of examining entrepreneurial intention. A sample size of 205 was drawn from Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Univesity (ATBU). Data was analysed using structural equation modeling. The findings show that, entrepreneurial attitude, subjective norm and power of behavioural control are all significant predictors of EI. In addition, other indirect relationships were also found to be significant. Overall the result shows the model fits the the data well.
