ABSTRACT
The decision usefulness of women empowerment depends on its ability to satisfy the fundamental daily needs of a woman not minding any limitation. Despite Nigeria government efforts on corruption reduction, poverty is still on the increase. This research investigates the relationship between women empowerment and entrepreneurial myth in Nigeria. By means of survey design, the primary data were obtained from sample of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), marketers, and civil servants. Two hundred copies of questionnaire were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study found correlation of women empowerment and entrepreneurial myth is significant at 0.01 level and no significant difference in Nigerian perception of women in the entrepreneur due to the probability value (0.08). The research concluded entrepreneurial myth is a significant factor in women empowerment, it recommends women should be proactive in addressing the current poverty situation in Nigeria and policy-makers should consider enlightenment programmes because it has a far-reaching implication on national development.
