The study investigated into NCE business education graduate entrepreneurs' rating of entrepreneurial skills utilization in entrepreneurship in North Central States, Nigeria. The study which employed a descriptive survey identified six entrepreneurial skills which were financial management, innovative thinking, human resource management, customer management, marketing management and problem-solving skills. Six research questions and six hypotheses were formulated for the study. The entire registered 149 NCE business education graduate entrepreneurs operating in the North Central States, Nigeria constituted the population of the study. There was no sampling since the entire population was considered manageable. A structured 90-item questionnaire titled Questionnaire on Entrepreneurs' Rating of Entrepreneurial Skills Utilization in Entrepreneurship (QERESUE) was adopted for the study. The reliability of the instrument was ascertained using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (r) to obtain the r- coefficient of 0.77, 0.82, 0.82, 0.76, 0.87 and 0.77 respectively for clusters B1-B6 of the questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed to the 149 NCE business education graduate entrepreneurs in the North Central States, Nigeria. Four copies of the questionnaire were not returned and so 145 copies were used for the study. The research questions were analyzed using descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation. T-test and ANOVA were used to test the null hypotheses of the study at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed among others that financial management skills, customer management skills and marketing management skills are sometimes utilized in entrepreneurship. Innovative thinking skills and human resource management skills are often used. Problem-solving skills are rarely used. With respect to the findings, the following recommendations were put forward, among which was that National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE), in collaboration with the authorities of colleges of education, established entrepreneurs and professionals in business and entrepreneurship education should, embark on curriculum review to improve on the instructional contents of entrepreneurship in business education in order to improve on the utilization of entrepreneurial skills in entrepreneurship by business education graduates.
