Youth unemployment in Nigeria is a crisis that is having an impact on the country's progress. Between the ages of 18 and 35, more than 55.4% of young adults are unemployed with 25% of Nigerians are unemployed, and another 20% or more are working jobs that are under their ability level.[1] [2]Unemployment is a social illness that is firmly entrenched in almost all developing countries in the globe, including Nigeria. The current unemployment rate in the country, according to Senator Chris Ngige, Minister of Labor and Employment, is intolerable since no country can advance by excluding a large portion of its human capital for productive work.[3]
