Popis: The study interrogates the contention that social entrepreneurship pedagogy plays an essential role in developing students' entrepreneurial mindset in a Covid-19 era from the perspective of the Lagos State University, Nigeria. The exploratory design was employed to harness new knowledge from existing literature. A total of 18 final-year students were purposively and conveniently for an interview, and data were analyzed with the NVivo (v.12) qualitative software. Results reveal a lack of pedagogy initiatives in delivering teachings and learning such as seminars/workshops, networking, internships and case studies, the absence of a conventional department of entrepreneurship education and a lack of appropriate entrepreneurship education curriculum for the development of students' entrepreneurship mindsets. Notably, the fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic has shown that students can revive the Nigerian economy with a positive outlook due to their entrepreneurial mindset. The study echoes the need for the constitution of appropriate pedagogy initiatives and relevant course contents and curriculum that could steer a robust students' entrepreneurial mindset for venture creation and economic development amidst the prevailing loss of jobs in this epoch of Covid-19.
