Abstract

This research determined to explore how to encourage self-reliance and develop abilities for digital entrepreneurship. Two null hypotheses and research questions were established to direct the study to meet the research’s objectives. A survey study strategy was chosen for this study. Out of the two thousand undergraduates (2000) in the population, a sum of one hundred eighty-seven (187) respondents were chosen for the sample. Simple random sampling was used to make the selection. The key tool was a study questionnaire titled "Building Skills for Digital Entrepreneurship and Motivating Self-Reliance," approved by two specialists from the University of Maiduguri's Computer Engineering and Computer Science departments. The researchers distributed the questionnaire. A statistical study using Pearson product-moment correlation was done to test the hypotheses. With 276 degrees of freedom and critical values, every hypothesis was meaningful. The University of Maiduguri found that the self-reliance drive substantially correlates with skills in Point of sale (POS) operation and recharge card business. Based on the study's findings, it was suggested that lecturers have adequate supervision to carry out the Entrepreneurship program. Universities should have workstations, so the stations should be properly staffed and equipped to support achieving the goals.
