Culture is one of the phenomenon that shape individuals toward moral integrity and human development. Culture therefore helps to engender development and sustainability in the society. Without culture no society can make progress into the sustainability of its future civilization.

The paper adopted explanatory descriptive approach which is content analysis. The paper discourse is centred on: concept of culture and cultural education, value/importance of cultural education, overall impact of cultural education and contributions of cultural education to the development of vocational business education in Nigeria. The paper concluded that sustainable Culture and vocational business education are connected phenomenal that collaborates to build a society with human and sustainable civilization. The development of culture influences the development of vocational business education and Nigeria can only leverage on the values of culture to shape a better curriculum of vocational business education. Thus, vocational business education cannot achieve its laudable objectives in Nigeria without embracing the norms and caprices of the culture of the society. Consequently, the paper recommended among others that educational institutions should develop curriculum guidelines and resources that incorporate cultural education components into vocational business programs at all levels of education, from secondary schools to tertiary institutions. Ensure that cultural education is integrated across relevant subjects, such as entrepreneurship, marketing, tourism, and international business.
