billion people in the World, 998527534 people in Africa and
152217341 people in Nigeria- the most populous country in
Africa.
Unemployment is a lowly state where you are incapable of
expressing your skills and talents for productivity. It is a global
issue and according to International Labour Organisaton, ILO-
2012, more than 197 million people in the World are
unemployed making65 of the World’s population.
Unemployment has affected 805 of the Nigerian youths
between 18 to 35 years and according to Vanguard Newspapers
Nigeria , more than 300000 graduate from the
University, polythenics but only less than half the number are

So many of the youths are leaving to Nigeria to search for
greener pastures and going to the UK, Europe-Italy, USA, etc

6. given the annual growth rate of 3.2
percent(National Population Commission and ICF
Macro,2009).With this population Nigeria is the
most populous nation in Africa. It is argued that
the high. Population growth rate has resulted in
the rapid growth of the labour force, which is far
outstripping the supply of jobs. The accelerated
growth of population on Nigeria's unemployment
problem is multifaceted. It affects the supply side
through a high and increase in the labour force
relative to the absorptive capacity of the economy.

7. The federal government should hasten the power
sector reforms and re-stabilise the power sector to
end the looming energy crisis in Nigeria. This is to
encourage entrepreneurial activities in the
country, in terms of enterprise activities.
Religious,Ethnic and political violence and crisis
should be controlled by all means necessary as it
displaces people and cause serious harm on their
means of livelihood,many companies have left
Nigeria because of violence in certain areas of the
country. Therefore,by all means necessary,any act of
violence should be checkmated

8.  The Federal Government should improve and encourage the agricultural sector.
 There should be a process of or a program geared towards training youths in Nigeria in
the
act of entrepreneurship.
 Youths should be empowered in skills and craft like beading, sewing, barbing etc.
 Soft loans should be granted to small scale farmers and business.
 Emphasis on paper qualification should be abolished but on your passion and
willingness to work.
 Discrimination on gender difference, ethnicity should be stopped, employment should
be based on qualification not on where he/she is from or whether it is a he or a she.
 The government should put a stop to making graduates from the Universities placed at a
higher level in the office than those graduates from colleges and polythenics.
 To encourage economic growth, we need steady supply of electricity to carry out
production faster and smoothly.
 The Nigerian government should remove the immunity policy that prevents corrupt
leaders from persecution.
 Elections in Nigeria should not be a “do or die” affair, it should be based on the peoples’
choice.

9. OUR SOLUTION
We want to create a skills acquisition agenda, where every
youth 18- 30 years is given a free tutorial on a his/her
desired passion on a particular skill. We believe that we
should non longer rely on white collar jobs for growth but
using our hands, passion, knowledge and energy to bring
out something beautiful to satisfy a need which in turn
can bring us income.

10. PLANNED RESULT AND OUTCOME
Young youth between the ages
of 20-30 years would be self
employed and will also employ
others, with this there would be
human productivity and nation
development
