Entrepreneurship is undoubtedly the panacea to economic growth and development. The goals set by Nigeria for science education include making Nigeria scientifically and technologically literate and developing technologically to a level for solving her housing, food and healthcare problems and production of made-in-Nigeria goods. Teaching and learning of science should therefore be geared not just at raising scientists but at developing scientist-entrepreneurs as well. It is noticeable that some of history's outstanding scientists also exhibited entrepreneurial streaks. For marked technological development to be recorded, today's science students need to be trained to discover the opportunities available to them. Entrepreneurial education focused at developing scientist-entrepreneurs should be made a part of the science curriculum at all levels. Teachers need to watch out and identify entrepreneurial traits in science students and help them develop the potentials through school, governmental and non-governmental interventions.
