Executive Summary
“There is an absence of serious, concrete, realistic, short and long term solution to youth
unemployment in Nigeria” – Chief Olusegun Obasanjo (former head of state).
“The key to solving unemployment lies with the private sector. This is why a major policy priority is
the creation of an enabling environment for businesses to thrive and employ people” – Dr. Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala (Minister for Finance speaking on Youth Empowerment).
“Youths constitute a large proportion of Nigeria’s population but despite their critical role in nation
building, it is often observed that the country has not invested seriously in youths, thereby making
them an army involved in unprofitable activities” (The Punch, pg. 32, May 6, 2013)
