  • Nigeria is experiencing a severe employment crisis, with 1.8 million new entrants into the labour force each year but only 1.1 million new jobs created. This leaves approximately 700,000 youth joining the ranks of the unemployed annually.<\/li>
  • In Lagos, the situation is particularly dire, with an unemployment rate estimated at 37.14%, translating to about 4 million unemployed youths. The constant influx of young people from across the country only intensifies the competition for scarce jobs.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    • A significant number of these unemployed youths lack essential job-related skills, which exacerbates their frustration and increases the risk of social unrest. The high demand for skilled labor contrasts sharply with the limited opportunities available for unskilled youth.<\/li>
    • The coexistence of a wealthy commercial base with an increasingly restless unemployed population in Lagos highlights the urgency of addressing this widening poverty gap.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
