This study examines the impacts of personal factors on entrepreneurial behaviour and intentions among tertiary students’ in Ogun State, Nigeria. This study employed a descriptive research design of correlation type, specifically the ex-post-facto type. A sample of one thousand two hundred (1200) students were randomly selected from three Polytechnics (Federal, State, and Private Polytechnics respectively) in Ogun State, Nigeria. The main instrument used for the collection of data was the Entrepreneurial Intention Questionnaire (EIQ) developed by Liñán & Chen, (2006). Two (2) research questions were raised and answered. Pearson’s Product Movement Correlation Statistical Procedure and multiple regressions analysis (stepwise) were used to analyses the data collected. Findings revealed that all the personal factors are potent factors to the prediction of tertiary students’ entrepreneurial behaviour and intentions. The differences between students’ entrepreneurial behaviour and intentions based on (t = 2.899) and school type (t = 3.719); but there was no statistically significant gender difference (t = 1.897). It is therefore, recommended that entrepreneurial education curricula should be incorporated right from primary to tertiary to improve students’ entrepreneurial behaviour and intention.
