Entrepreneurship education is necessary especially in this era of economic instability in the country. In recent times, the foundation level of education has most been affected. The present economic situation in Nigeria has destabilized our UBE programme in achieving its policy. This instability has generated negative effects on the basic education system. Although education had been in crisis for many years, the situation has recently been made worse by recession. Much of the difficulty in the universal basic education lies in the fact that the sector is poorly funded. This paper discusses the characteristics and vision for basic education, factors that lead to economic recession, concept of economic recession and entrepreneurship education for economic recovery. Finally it was recommended that government efforts on entrepreneurship development should move from the drawing board of dailies to concrete and practical steps, which are physical and graphical among others.

Keywords: Universal Basic Education, economic recession and entrepreneurship education.
