Moderating effects of access to finance on the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention in Usmanu Dan Fodiyo University Sokoto

Abstract

Despite a paucity of academic research examining Entrepreneurship Education on individual level with regards to intention, a connection among each of the components of Curriculum, Entrepreneurship Andragogy, University Support System, along with entrepreneurial intention continues to produce inconsistent findings from studies. The study used the partial least square structural equation model as a method of analysis to collect and evaluate the data gathered by University graduates in business associated departments using a representative population sample of 250. Access to finances, on the other hand, was found to play a substantial moderating effect among University Support System and entrepreneurial intention. This investigation suggests that AF is significant aspect in raising knowledge of university support and enhancing the efficacy of EA in moulding students' plans to become entrepreneurs in Usmanu Dan Fodiyo University in Sokoto state.
