Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Youth development is critical for building a sustainable future, especially in developing countries where the youth constitute a significant portion of the population. In Nigeria, various youth development policies have been implemented at both the federal and local government levels to empower young people, enhance their leadership skills, and prepare them for active participation in nation-building (Sulaimon & Okunola, 2023). Takai Local Government in Kano State, with its youthful population, has become a key area for assessing the impact of youth development policies on leadership potential. The policies include programs focused on education, entrepreneurship, skills training, and community involvement, all aimed at fostering leadership abilities among young people (Abubakar & Mohammed, 2023).
While these policies have had some success in promoting youth participation in civic activities and leadership roles, challenges such as limited resources, lack of political will, and inadequate implementation mechanisms have hindered their full potential (Zubairu & Ibrahim, 2023). This study seeks to examine the effectiveness of youth development policies in enhancing leadership potential in Takai Local Government and to identify strategies for improving these policies.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the introduction of youth development policies, many young people in Takai continue to face challenges in realizing their leadership potential, primarily due to the inadequate implementation of policies, insufficient funding, and limited access to opportunities for skills development (Aliyu & Musa, 2023). This study will explore the impact of these policies on enhancing youth leadership potential and identify barriers to successful policy implementation.
