Produktbeschreibung
In the last few decades, Nigeria has grappled with rising youth unemployment, a challenge that is particularly acute in the North-central region. Despite various government program and interventions aimed at creating job opportunities, the rate of youth unemployment continues to increase, leaving a large portion of young people economically ineffective and socially excluded.
