      abstract = {Decades of tremendous technological and sociological panacea being deployed by universities for the footing of an enabling entrepreneurial ecosystem have not assuaged the issues of poor technological perception to the establishment of an entrepreneurial ecosystem centered at universities. This article conceptually demonstrates how the entrepreneurial ecosystem is attitudinally prevented from entering the domain of technological adaptation due to its unfavorable positioning in the valley of technological adoption.  Therefore, using Feenberg's technological theories as its main lens, this article objectively presents a conceptual explanation of the mesh mechanism surrounding the complexities of students' entrepreneurial perception of the role of ICT. To improve the development of a technologically oriented system for enhancing entrepreneurship, the authors suggest potential solutions to conceptually attenuate poor technopreneurial perception within the university-based entrepreneurial ecosystem through qualitatively developed substantive theory. This is done in response to a contingent struggle in the Nigerian entrepreneurial context.},
