Chapter One: Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Youth unemployment remains a critical challenge in Nigeria, where a significant portion of the population comprises young people. In Kano Municipal Local Government, the high unemployment rate among youth has contributed to social problems such as poverty, crime, and drug abuse (Olawale & Usman, 2023). Youth empowerment programs have been introduced as a strategy to combat this issue by providing skills training, entrepreneurship opportunities, and financial support to young individuals.

These programs, implemented by both government and non-governmental organizations, aim to equip young people with the tools they need to become economically independent and contribute to national development. However, despite these efforts, youth unemployment persists at alarming rates, raising concerns about the effectiveness of these initiatives (Abdullahi et al., 2024). This study evaluates the impact of youth empowerment programs on unemployment in Kano Municipal Local Government, examining their strengths, weaknesses, and potential for improvement.

Despite the introduction of youth empowerment programs in Kano Municipal Local Government, unemployment among youth remains a significant issue. Challenges such as inadequate funding, lack of proper monitoring, and mismatch between training programs and market demands have limited the success of these initiatives (Garba et al., 2023).
