Pomimo strategicznego znaczenia rolnictwa dla rozwoju narodów przedsiębiorczość rolnicza (agropreneurship) wydaje się być niekorzystną opcją wśród młodzieży szkolącej się i mieszkającej w osiedlach miejskich, takich jak stan Lagos w Nigerii. Pomimo różnych inicjatyw agroprzedsiębiorczych wdrażanych przez rząd stanu Lagos za pośrednictwem jego agencji i instytucji młodzież lub młodzi przedsiębiorcy chcą kontynuować karierę w sektorach usług, technologii, mody i rozrywki, gdzie to się dzieje i jest dość modne. W związku z tym dążenie do stania się agroprzedsiębiorcą wydaje się być nieco ograniczone dla studentów studiów licencjackich, motywowanych czynnikami, nieznanymi dla wielu badaczy i decydentów. W badaniu tym oceniono czynniki, które motywują studentów szkół wyższych, należących do Lagos, do stania się agroprzedsiębiorcą. Korzystając z projektu badawczego opartego na równoczesnej transformacyjnej metodzie mieszanej, zebrano dane od młodych rolników (rolników z kampusu), którzy są studentami trzech wyższych uczelni Lagos State University (LASU), Lagos State University of Education (LASUED), Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), której właścicielem jest stan Lagos, metodą wywiadu i kwestionariusza. Respondentów zapytano o motywy rozpoczęcia działalności w sektorze rolniczym, a wyniki analizy za pomocą prostej analizy procentowej i treściowej ujawniły, że m.in. głównymi czynnikami motywującymi respondentów do rozpoczęcia działalności rolniczej było rzucenie sobie wyzwania w zakresie myślenia nieszablonowego, uniezależniania się, z możliwością kontrolowania swojego czasu, realizacji marzeń, podnoszenia statusu społeczno-ekonomicznego oraz rozwiązywania problemów związanych z żywnością. Opierając się na wynikach tego badania, zalecono między innymi rządowi, aby za pośrednictwem określonych ministerstw, departamentów i agencji stworzył politykę zachęcającą do projektów rolniczych na kampusach, a także udostępnił dotacje rolnikom na kampusach na podstawie ilości ich produktów rocznie.

“…For example, studies have shown that students' career choices are connected to their employability (Fini, Meoli, & Sobrero, 2022;Hall et al, 2021). The connection between career decisions and employment prospects is mediated by interests may be more resilient in acquiring the needed skills for effective functioning, thereby making them more appealing to employers (Gar & Rodgers, 2020;Innocent, 2014;Nyong, 2013).…”

This study investigated the role of students' skills in their career decisions while preparing for university education. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The study's population comprised 5,656 Senior Secondary class three (SS III) students distributed across 101 public secondary schools in Ikom Education Zone, Cross River State. A sample of 1,135 SS III students was selected (representing 20% of the population) using the simple random sampling technique. "Skills and Career Choice Checklist (SCCC)," designed by the researchers, was the instrument used for data collection. Frequency counts, percentages, and the Chi-square test of independence were used for data analysis. Findings revealed that many prospective university students had exposure to different skills. The career decisions of prospective students varied according to their skill sets. It was established that the extent to which students' career choices depend on their exposure to skills is significant. It was concluded that prior exposure to skills determines prospective university students' career choices. This study has counselling implications for the proper guidance of students seeking to make career decisions. Career counsellors can use the results of this study to guide students in taking courses related to their skills or the other way around.
