Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Youth unemployment is a critical challenge in Nigeria, contributing to socio-economic instability and youth migration to urban areas in search of better opportunities. In Kaltungo Local Government Area (LGA) of Gombe State, youth employment remains a significant concern, with many young people unable to access jobs or vocational training opportunities. Photography, through the lens of advocacy, can serve as a tool for raising awareness about the importance of youth employment and promoting available opportunities. By documenting the struggles of unemployed youth and showcasing initiatives that support employment, photography can create a visual narrative that resonates with the community and policymakers. This study explores how photography can contribute to the advocacy for youth employment in Kaltungo LGA, assessing its potential in inspiring action and fostering collaboration between local stakeholders and youth.
