Abstract
This study determined the adequacy of funding for skill acquisition in Entrepreneurship Development Centres in tertiary institutions in Enugu State. One research question guided the study and two null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The design of the study was a descriptive survey. Population of the study was 137 management staff of Entrepreneurship Development Centres and entrepreneurship lecturers in tertiary institutions in Enugu State. No sample was taken because of the manageable size of the population. A validated structured questionnaire was used to collect data for the study and its reliability coefficient was determined using Cronbach Alpha which yielded the value of 0.85 for the cluster. Mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the data to answer the research question and determine the cohesiveness or otherwise of respondents’ mean ratings. z-test and ANOVA were used to test the acquisition in entrepreneurship development centres in the universities, colleges of education and null hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed that there were inadequate funding for skill polytechnics owned by both Federal and State governments in Enugu State. Based on these findings it was recommended among others that the management of tertiary institutions in Enugu State should source for fund beyond government budgetary allocations through internal generated revenues and external grants to ensure adequate provision of resources in the Entrepreneurship Development Centres.
