Strategies for Teaching Business Education Students in Nigerian Tertiary Institutions for Cooperate Governance

Abstract

In recent time, graduates from the nation’s tertiary institution of learning most especially the business education graduates have been plagued by the inability to get jobs in corporate industries and companies in Nigeria. Many authors and researchers have related this problem to the quality of training received by these graduates while in school which is devoid of skills required to meet up with the demands of the business world. It is in seeking a solution to this problem that the authors delved through literature to determine effective strategies for teaching business education students for corporate governance. The strategies proffered included: the integration of business ethics courses in the business education curriculum, training and retraining of business educators for corporate governance, engaging students in work-based learning and the adoption of online learning in teaching of corporate governance. The authors believe that these strategies if judiciously adopted will to a great extent improve the quality of business education graduates and improve their chances of being employed in corporate organizations in Nigeria.
