Eighteen trainers were randomly selected to respond to the questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation). The findings revealed that entrepreneurship programme in the University of Maiduguri is compulsory and in compliance with government's demand, material and human resources for the program are inadequate when compared with the large number of students involved. The time allotted for entrepreneurship training is only 3 months hence, considered too short to empower students meaningfully
