Sample size is determined using Krejcie & Morgan (1970), and we arrived at 383 Lokoja dwellers as the respondents. The collection of the data was done using questionnaires. The study purposively picked the respondents of the area. The analysis of the data was done using descriptive and inferential statistics. The reliability of the instrument was tested using Cronbach Alpha Coefficient. The reliability results of all the constructs in the instrument are adequate enough. It was discovered in the course of the research that the creation of new jobs in Kogi State is positively and strongly correlated with entrepreneurial development. The results showed that, while keeping other factors that affect employment formation constant, employment creation will increase in the state when entrepreneurial growth grows.
