Nigeria's curriculum has evolved to emphasize critical thinking, innovation, and entrepreneurship, vital for addressing unemployment and economic growth. However, graduates often struggle to find employment due to curriculum implementation issues and insufficient focus on innovation. This study employs a descriptive survey design to investigate the "Impact of Curriculum Development on Entrepreneurship and Innovation Skills among Undergraduate Students in Nigeria". The population of the study consisted of two hundred and fifty-eight (258) public and private universities within Nigeria. Employing a non-probability purposive sampling method, the researchers selected a sample of three hundred students (300) from both public and private universities representing all six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Data is collected from 300 students across public and private universities using a Likert-scale questionnaire. The t-test is employed to analyze mean assessment scores, showing significant differences in both entrepreneurial mindset and innovative skills between public and private universities. The reliability coefficient was calculated as 0.84. The data collected were analyzed using mean scores and simple percentages to answer research questions to address the research inquiries, while t-tests were employed to assess the test hypotheses at a 0.05 significant level. The study recommended among other things that, to address these issues and promote economic growth, Nigerian universities should adopt a practical and forward-thinking curriculum, with a particular focus on integrating collaborative curriculum development involving stakeholders and more funding for entrepreneurship programs. It also highlights the importance of innovative teaching methods to prepare graduates for the modern economy.
