BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
It is impossible to place too much emphasis on the problem of young unemployment because of statements such as (2009), which stated that "Nigeria as a country is frequently labeled as a rich country majority of impoverished population where 50 percent of the citizen live below the poverty threshold." In Nigeria, unemployment has been a problem, particularly since the 1980s, when the nation's economy took a turn for the worse as a world petroleum price tumbled, the Nigerian currency became devalued, corruption became rampant, and the population of Nigeria ballooned at a breathtaking pace. The resultant poverty has posed question about the wisdom of conventional strategies for nation development, and both the government and the private sector have discussed this issue at various forums and conferences. Its prolonged existence had been related to Nigeria's inadequate electricity supply as well as its lack of financial empowerment (ILO 2021). According to Aganga (2010), the result of unemployment in Nigeria has been a rise in a variety of crimes and social vices including prostitution and online scams. The continuous prevalence of vices such as political violence, abduction, militancy (in the Niger delta), drug trafficking, armed robbery, and so on has been related to the lack of available jobs in Nigeria (ILO 2021). According to Aganga (2010), for example, the rate of prostitution increased during the middle of the 1990s due to an increase in the number of young Nigerian women who were trafficked to Italy. In addition, the use of internet scans has been on the rise in recent years, and political violence, kidnapping, and other vices have also been increasing recently. Concerns have been expressed, however, about the socioeconomic situation of young people and the prospects of creating additional livelihood opportunities for them. This is due to the fact that young people make up a significant portion of the labor force and that they have innovative ideals, both of which are essential components in the development process of the country (Irira, 2021). According to Gullins et al. (2008), unemployment is a condition in which a person who is able and willing to work normally depends upon his earning to provide the necessities of life for himself and family but is unable to obtain a gainful employment. In other words, unemployment is a condition in which a person is unable to provide the necessities of life for himself and family. According to Karl Pribram (2008), unemployment is a state of the labor market in which the supply of labor power is larger than the number of available openings. In other words, there are more people looking for work than there are jobs available. Ebere Nwero (2010) posited that most of the time, people blame the government for unemployment. However, they fail to see that in the government's effort to reduce the problem of unemployment in the country, it has initiated a variety of programs to create jobs for the youths and other people who are unemployed. Despite the fact that the Nigerian government has tried a number of different measures to get as many young people as possible into work through the N.Y.S.C. orientation program, which lasts for "Ebere" goes on to claim that the issue of unemployment may be resolved when young people give up their outdated and incorrect ways of thinking. dependency belief? People who have the idea that the government would automatically provide them with a job once they have completed their education or left school are setting themselves up to be disillusioned and disappointed (Irira, 2021). The growing social and economic problem that is related with the high unemployment rate among young people in the Odeda neighborhood served as the inspiration for the conception of this research.
