The objective of this research was to examine the role of an educator’s competence in
enhancing students’ commitment to write business plans as expression of entrepreneurial
aspirations and intentions. The data for this study was collected from university students of four
selected institutions in Nigeria offering a degree programme in entrepreneurship. The selected
universities are Joseph Ayo Babalola in Osun State, Federal University of Agriculture in
Abeokuta Ogun State, Federal University of Technology Akure Ondo State, and Lead City
University Ibadan Oyo State. This study adopted descriptive cross sectional survey research
design in which the research questionnaire was administered to participants based on purposive,
stratified and simple random sampling techniques. A total of six hundred (600) students from the
selected universities participated in this study. In developing the survey questionnaire
instrument, questions were adapted from existing literature that relate to the study. Hierarchical
Multiple Regression Analysis was used in validating the hypothesis postulated in the study using
the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. The findings from the analysis
implied that the experience and skill of an entrepreneurship educator impacts on
entrepreneurship students’ commitment to learning particularly in writing feasible and viable
business plans. It was recommended that entrepreneurship educators should ensure to utilize
their experience and skill to motivate students’ commitment to entrepreneurial related learning
with particular emphasis on business plan writing. This is hinged upon the fact that angel
investors, partnering financial institutions and other stakeholder support systems mostly favor
business plan competitions as basis for supporting business start-ups
