Abstract
More recent than ever, it is becoming more evident that entrepreneurial development is a necessary ingredient for economic development of any nation in this modern world. Accordingly, government at all levels in Nigeria has vested a significant interest in the development of the entrepreneurial sector by initiating various entrepreneurial empowerment policies in order to eradicate poverty and to enhance economic development of the Nigerian society. Despite all the efforts, entrepreneurship development in Nigeria is still a mystery. Various factors are responsible for the failure of entrepreneurial policies in Nigeria. Lack of entrepreneurial guidance and counselling services is seen as one of the major factors responsible for the failure of entrepreneurial empowerment policies in Nigeria. The study recommends that entrepreneurial guidance and counselling should be given utmost priority in any entrepreneurial empowerment.programme in Nigeria in order to achieve the desired purpose.
