Background of the Study
Youth unemployment remains a pressing issue in Nigeria, exacerbating poverty and social unrest. Skill acquisition programs provide a pathway for empowering youth with employable skills, fostering economic growth, and reducing dependency. In Yauri Local Government Area (LGA) of Kebbi State, the success of skill acquisition programs hinges on effective communication strategies that promote awareness, participation, and engagement. Development communication plays a pivotal role in enhancing these programs by disseminating information, addressing misconceptions, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders (Aminu et al., 2023). This study examines the effectiveness of development communication in advancing skill acquisition initiatives among youth in Yauri LGA.
1.2 Statement of the Problem

This study investigates how communication influences the success of skill acquisition programs among youth in the area.
