Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Youth empowerment remains a central focus in the development of many Nigerian communities, where unemployment and underemployment among young people are critical issues. In Chikun Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State, the challenges are no different, with many young people lacking access to training and skill acquisition opportunities that could enhance their livelihoods. Photography, as both an art form and a medium for communication, offers an exciting avenue for youth empowerment. By offering photography training programs, young people can acquire valuable technical skills that are both creative and marketable. These skills can open up opportunities in areas like photojournalism, event photography, and commercial photography. This study explores how photography can be used as a tool for youth empowerment in Chikun LGA, assessing the impact of photography training on the skills development and socio-economic well-being of young people in the area.
