Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Unemployment remains a critical issue in many regions of Nigeria, with young people particularly affected. In Kaura Namoda Local Government Area, Zamfara State, digital media has been increasingly recognized as a tool to combat unemployment by fostering entrepreneurship, providing job opportunities, and enhancing access to skill development resources. Platforms such as LinkedIn, job boards, e-learning sites, and digital job markets provide avenues for employment and business development. According to research by Ojo et al.
