The desires and aspirations of the government and people of Nigeria have remained a mirage in terms of meeting the goals and objectives of technical education. The situation has not changed even after the inclusion of entrepreneurship education in the curricula of tertiary institutions in Nigeria. It is in the light of these obvious problems and the imminent danger to society, compounded by the present global economic nose - dive that the paper is canvassing for practical based skill oriented entrepreneurship training in secondary and tertiary institutions in Nigeria. This crucial issue is discussed through the following sub-headings: Introduction, Entrepreneurship Education in Nigeria; TVET in Nigeria, Entrepreneurship Spirits/ Skill: the Missing Link, Strategies for Entrepreneurial Skills/Spirit Development in TVET and finally, the paper concludes with recommendations that could restore the education system to the right path for the realization of the Millennium Development Goals
