The population of the study comprised 109 business education students in tertiary institutions in Imo State. Instrument employed for data collection was “Insecurity on Business Education Students Questionnaire (IBESQ). The instrument was validated by three experts in Business Education. The reliability of the instruments were also established using Cronbach Alpha and this yielded a coefficient of 0.83.
