    Entrepreneurs set themselves apart from the competition by consciously connecting and organizing their own and other resources to create a business that offers value to the community and economy. However, the study's goal is to look at the impact of entrepreneurial intents and agribusiness among Kwara State's teeming young. The population of registered 3,168 store proprietors in the Ilorin metropolitan was studied using a combined quantitative and qualitative approach. The Raosoft Platform was used to calculate the sample size, which came to 355. As a research tool, standardized questionnaires and in-depth interviews were used. To evaluate the hypotheses proposed in this study, the data were analyzed using linear regression (r) and analysis of variance. The F-value is statistically significant at 1%, according to the results of the Simple Regression Analysis. The entrepreneurship aim of agribusiness may explain 0.681, 0.677, and 0.414 of the overall variation in entrepreneurial orientation, and job generation, respectively, in entrepreneurial endeavours. This demonstrates that entrepreneurial intent is a critical aspect that has a good and significant impact on agriculture. According to the findings, having an entrepreneurial mindset enhances productivity, competencies, and the desire to start a new or expand an existing firm. The study concluded that youth should be encouraged to embrace training and the evolution of entrepreneurial education, particularly in agriculture, to re-orient themselves as innovative, creative, and imaginative.
