Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between managing university students in today’s world for National Transformation in Cross River State, Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted for the study. One hypothesis was raised to guide the study. The sample of the study was made up of 1,000 students randomly selected from the population of 5,000 graduating students from the two universities. Data collection was carried out with the use of researchers’ constructed instrument titled “Managing University Students for National Transformation Questionnaire” (MUSNTQ). Data collected were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient at 0.05 level of significance. Result revealed that managing university students in terms of entrepreneurial skills, creative skills, technical skills, communication skills, ICT skills, internet connectivity and interpersonal skills has a significant relationship with national transformation. Based on the findings, it was recommended that university regulatory bodies should add to their mandate more practical and skill oriented courses that will transform the products into self reliance citizens who can in turn transform the society.
