Keywords like "social inclusion," "entrepreneurship," and "sustainable development" were used to find pertinent, peer-reviewed research articles in academic journals of repute. We observed that that entrepreneurship and social inclusion fosters sustainable economic development, creates jobs and also alleviate poverty, promote community cooperation which of course serve as a powerful force for addressing societal challenges while pursuing business objectives. The study recommends that the concept of entrepreneurship should be further deepened in all spheres of life. Governmental, non governmental and private organizations should collectively address the societal issues that hampers the furtherance of entrepreneurship in Nigeria.
