This paper investigated entrepreneurship as a viable tool for poverty reduction in Nigeria. The paper adopted a quantitative research design, and the data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Data were gathered through a survey using a structured questionnaire with a sample of size of 335 entrepreneurs. The respondents were selected using a systematic random sampling method from the sampling frame of 2,600 entrepreneurs. SmartPLS 3.0 (M3) with path modeling and bootstrapping was used to examine the standard error of the estimate and t-values. The findings suggest that only entrepreneurship education and attraction dimension of entrepreneurship was significantly related to poverty reduction. Whereas intention and Knowledge were not related to poverty reduction in the country. Potential limitations of the study, practical implications of the findings, and directions for future research are highlighted.
