Their programs could serve as spotting opportunities for educators and business educators to acquire relevant career progression and marketable skills. Challenges of business teacher education; the need for quality business teacher education programme in Nigerian universities; and benefits of the World Bank intervention to Business teacher education were all revealed in this paper.  Recommendations were drawn from the conclusion.

Key Word: World Bank, Prosperity, Benefits, Business Teacher Education Programme, intervention.
