Unemployment in Nigeria has acted the rural areas and the economic development of the country from a broad spectrum of socio-economic perspective.
It is obvious that the situation especially that of rural unemployment aected
Nigeria’s progress in several ways. Citizens particularly youths in rural areas are
said to be confronted with poverty and unemployment which is caused by lack of capacity and essential productive skills for both creative employment in
existing organizations and for self-employment (Sagagi, 2010). Many people are unemployed because they have not acquired the kind of skills that are
frequently demanded in the environment they operate. Others are unemployed because their skills have been rendered obsolete by technological changes or
because they have no skills at all (Kpakol, 2006). With inadequate skills and few opportunities, particularly the youths in the rural areas face a future of lowwage
employment, unemployment and underemployment in the informal sector with little security and prospects (Dandago & Muhammad, 2014). The expansion of employment opportunities in the rural areas is far below the growth in population because of lack of productive skills and investments.
