Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Educational events such as workshops, seminars, career fairs, and skill-building programs play a vital role in youth development by fostering learning, career growth, and personal empowerment. In Bida Local Government Area, Niger State, these events are increasingly recognized as tools for addressing challenges such as unemployment, skill gaps, and limited access to quality education. Educational events provide platforms for youth to acquire practical skills, network with mentors, and gain exposure to diverse career opportunities. Recent literature highlights the role of community-based educational events in promoting youth empowerment and reducing socioeconomic disparities (Ahmed & Usman, 2023; Bello et al., 2024). However, the effectiveness of these events in Bida is often limited by logistical challenges, lack of funding, and insufficient participation. This study examines the contribution of educational events to youth development in Bida LGA, emphasizing their impact on skill acquisition and personal growth.

This study seeks to investigate the role of educational events in youth development, identifying challenges and proposing strategies for improvement in Bida LGA.
