ABSTRACT At the tertiary level of education, entrepreneurship education is perceived not only as a career opportunity but as a way of upgrading a young person’s abilities to succeed as an employee as well as an entrepreneur. The implication therefore is that the overall purpose of entrepreneurship education is the development of expertise as an entrepreneur. It is the process of providing individuals with the ability to recognize business opportunities, the insight, the zeal, the knowledge, the courage and skills to act on them. The entrepreneurship spirit is a prerequisite to an entrepreneurial society and culture. This spirit is required for the overall economic growth of any nation especially developing ones like Nigeria. This study seeks to examine Information and Communication Technology (ICT) equipment as a tool for entrepreneurial development of the Nigerian youths in tertiary institutions. KEYWORDS: Entrepreneurship education, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), tertiary institutions.
