The study adopted theexplanatory survey based in the use of questionnaire as research instrument.The study was therefore quantitative. The study adopted the simple random sampling techniques to select respondents. In all, 150 SMEs were chosen for the study. Both descriptive and inferential data analysis were used. The study adopted the Chi-Square for the analysis of this study. The study concludes that there exist consequences of individual knowledge of entrepreneurship due to educational qualifications with those who attend tertiary institutions possessing entrepreneurial knowledge than those who could not. However, there was no significance difference of entrepreneurial intention and attitude due to educational qualification. The situation is not good considering the fact that those we expected to gain good entrepreneurial behavior through education rather lack the willingness and the attitude to embark on entrepreneurial activities. It was therefore not surprising that these entrepreneurs are not experiencing performance improvements in their various businesses. It is therefore recommended that the institutions such as the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations, the Youth Employment Agency and other stakeholders institute various entrepreneurial trainings to help equip the youth and increase their entrepreneurial intention
