Background of the Study
Youth restiveness is a significant issue in many parts of Nigeria, especially in regions with high levels of unemployment, poverty, and social instability. Jalingo South LGA, located in Taraba State, has witnessed a growing number of youth-related social issues, including unrest, drug abuse, and involvement in criminal activities. Local governments, as key stakeholders in addressing community issues, have a responsibility to develop and implement initiatives aimed at curbing youth restiveness.
In response to these challenges, the local government in Jalingo South has launched several initiatives to engage the youth, including skills development programs, sports activities, educational outreach, and entrepreneurship support. These initiatives aim to provide young people with the skills and opportunities they need to lead productive lives and reduce their involvement in negative activities. However, the effectiveness of these interventions in addressing youth restiveness in Jalingo South LGA remains underexplored. This study seeks to investigate the role and impact of local government initiatives in mitigating youth restiveness in the region.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the implementation of various youth-focused programs in Jalingo South LGA, youth restiveness continues to be a persistent issue. High levels of unemployment, lack of educational opportunities, and limited access to vocational training contribute to the ongoing problem. There is a need to critically assess the local government initiatives to understand their strengths and weaknesses in addressing the root causes of youth restiveness.
