“…To increase entrepreneurial interest and reduce the perceived difficulty (PBC) towards entrepreneurship among the ITBS enrollees in a period of crisis, the government is required to provide assistance to graduates of the ITBS to enable them start up. Previous research affirms that government entrepreneurial supports particularly in the provision of finances and designing favourable policies in Nigeria is an issue of concern, as training alone even when it is effective could not work until it is paired with other interventions (Salisu, 2020).…”

PurposeThis study investigates and contextualises the Igbo Traditional Business School (ITBS) and planned entrepreneurial behaviour across Nigerian higher education sector in a period of crisis occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on a quantitative survey of undergraduate students on ITBS, and the data were analysed using the SmartPLS structural equation modelling (SEM).FindingsThe study finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has had negative influence on attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control (PBC) and entrepreneurial intention (EI) of students, but these negative influences are mediated/moderated by the ITBS.Practical implicationsThe study presents some practical and managerial implications that will be of interest to ITBS administrators, the government and other stakeholder groups.Originality/valueWhile research has increasingly explored the role of the ITBS in promoting entrepreneurial activities, not much has been linked to coping mechanisms for students in crisis times. The study unearths the “positive” influence of the pandemic on entrepreneurship and how the ITBS mediates the “negative” aspects of COVID-19 on entrepreneurial vocation.

“…Some researchers have reported a non-significant relationship between subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention, such as [51], [52]. However, significant research findings have argued that entrepreneurial intention can be influenced by personal attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control [1,53,54]. The implication of this finding for engineering and entrepreneurship educators is to draw their attention to the need to collaborate and formulate an integrated entrepreneurship program that will influence the mindset of engineering students to intend to become entrepreneurial engineers after graduation.…”

Entrepreneurship is the major solution to the unemployment problem that has resulted to multifaceted socio-economic challenges in the developing worlds. If engineer becomes entrepreneur, this will not only create jobs but promote technological development and a sustainable national economic growth is guaranteed. The process of entrepreneurship starts from the development of intention to embark on such a venture, hence this study assessed the entrepreneurial intentions of the engineering students in the universities. To accomplish this task, Ajzen theory of planned behaviour is applied. A survey was conductor at the faculty of engineering, Osun State University, Osogbo, Nigeria through a structured questionnaire administered to 470 engineering students in 2021. The data collected was analysed using Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) version 20. The results of the descriptive and regression analyses using the SPSS show that engineering courses are mostly study by the male gender and further revealed that entrepreneurial intentions could be statistically investigated using the Ajzen theory. The results specifically revealed that personal attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control are statistically significant in determining the entrepreneurial intentions of engineering students, while the level of study is insignificant. Based on these results, recommendations for the government, heads of engineering faculty, educators in the fields of engineering and entrepreneurship were provided
