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

Despite the introduction of various skill acquisition programs in Yauri LGA, youth participation remains suboptimal due to limited awareness and engagement. Poor communication strategies often hinder the dissemination of program benefits, objectives, and opportunities. Addressing these challenges requires the adoption of targeted development communication approaches, yet their effectiveness in Yauri LGA has not been adequately explored (Olawale & Ahmed, 2024). This study investigates how communication influences the success of skill acquisition programs among youth in the area.

1.3 Objectives of the Study

1.5 Research Hypotheses

  1. Development communication significantly increases awareness of skill acquisition programs.

  2. Effective communication strategies enhance youth participation in skill acquisition initiatives.

  3. Participatory communication approaches improve the success of skill acquisition programs.

1.6 Significance of the Study

This study provides valuable insights into the role of communication in promoting skill acquisition among youth, with implications for policymakers, program implementers, and development practitioners. Its findings will support the design of effective communication strategies to enhance youth empowerment and economic development in Yauri LGA.

1.7 Scope and Limitations of the Study

The study focuses on the role of development communication in promoting skill acquisition programs for youth in Yauri LGA, Kebbi State. It evaluates existing communication strategies, their effectiveness, and potential improvements. Limitations may include access to data on program outcomes and varying levels of youth engagement.
