dc.description.abstractThis study explores the integration of innovative and creative non-formal entrepreneurship skills into adult literacy programs in Nigeria, responding to the persistent challenge of adult illiteracy and the limited relevance of traditional literacy curricula to current socioeconomic realities. Despite government efforts, a substantial proportion of adults remain without functional literacy, which hinders their personal growth and economic participation. Through a descriptive and analytical approach grounded in the literature and experiential insights, this study identifies key entrepreneurial skills, such as business idea generation, business planning, financial literacy, new venture creation, fund sourcing, advertising, and networking, as critical tools for empowering adult learners. This study further outlines a strategic implementation framework that includes needs assessment, curriculum redesign, facilitator training, resource development, mentorship, and ongoing evaluation. The findings suggest that embedding these skills into literacy education not only enhances the practicality and attractiveness of programs but also enables learners to contribute to sustainable development. The paper concludes by advocating for policy and institutional support to facilitate transformative integration.
