Background of the Study
Yola North Local Government Area (LGA), located in Adamawa State, Nigeria, faces significant challenges in addressing youth unemployment, with geopolitical divisions often exacerbating these issues. Youth unemployment in the region is compounded by ethnic divisions, political affiliations, and competition for scarce resources. Geopolitical factors such as the influence of political elites, ethnic considerations, and historical marginalization of certain groups have hindered the equitable distribution of youth employment programs. Youth employment initiatives, such as skills acquisition programs, entrepreneurship development, and job placement services, are often shaped by the political and ethnic interests that dominate the local landscape. This study will examine the role of geopolitical divisions in shaping youth employment programs in Yola North LGA, highlighting how these divisions impact the effectiveness and inclusivity of such programs (Nuhu & Ibrahim, 2024).
1.2 Statement of the Problem
In Yola North LGA, the effectiveness of youth employment programs is undermined by geopolitical divisions. These divisions, which are primarily based on ethnic and political affiliations, create an environment where certain groups of youths are favored while others are marginalized. This inequity limits the reach of youth employment initiatives and results in higher levels of youth unemployment and frustration. The problem stems from the inability of policy frameworks to address these divisions adequately, leading to a skewed implementation of programs that do not serve all segments of the population equally. This study seeks to assess the impact of geopolitical divisions on youth employment programs in Yola North LGA and propose recommendations for more inclusive approaches.

1.6 Significance of the Study
This study will offer valuable insights into the role of geopolitical divisions in shaping the success or failure of youth employment programs in Yola North LGA.
