      ab: The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of gender and self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intention among Obafemi Awolowo University undergraduates in Ile-Ife. A descriptive survey design was used in conducting the study. One hundred and forty (140) students comprising 74 males and 66 females whose ages ranged between 16 and 35 years participated in the study. Participants responded to items of a structured questionnaire, the response which was subjected to statistical analysis. The results showed there was no significant difference between male and female students on entrepreneurship intention (t (138) = 1.81, p >.05). The results also revealed that there is significant difference between respondents with high self efficacy and those with low self efficacy on entrepreneurial intention (t (138) = 7.47, p <0.05). It is recommended that youth should continually seek to evolve into entrepreneurs and should stop the limiting mental paradigm and cliché of already made 'white collar job' after graduation.
