entrepreneurial intention of Nigerian students in UUM focusing in
environmental support and environmental influence. A cross-sectional research
design with quantitative questionnaire approach was conducted. The study used
convenience sampling technique to select 159 participants who provided
information on the environmental support, environmental influence and
