    (Nigerian Journal of Business and Entrepreneurship Research, 2014) Onochie Maxwell Prosper; Eke O. Patrick; Moses Chinonye Love
    Lack of right policy initiatives and discipline in the educational system toward producing self reliant graduates seem to be responsible for the high rate of unemployment; increasing graduate unemployability syndrome; low human development index (standard of living) and the "youth budge" syndrome, evidenced in the increasing crime wave. This paper examines the impact of entrepreneurial development studies (EDS) and Nigerian government support of EDSon national development. The paper adopts the ordinary least square (OLS) technique for the analysis and the result identified that there is need for the development of national venture capital and an agency for securitization of such project to support the philosophy of entrepreneurship in Nigeria. Based on the finding of this paper, we recommend that the right policy initiatives and supports should be evolved to develop and drive entrepreneurial capacities and discipline among every Nigerian for National development if Nigeria as a nation wants to become one of the top twenty (20) world economies in 2020.
