Youth employment is devastating to both the individual and the society as a whole both psychologically and economically.

The paper concludes that the stakeholders should provide job opportunities to positively empower the youths to make then self-reliant through vocational and technical education (Agriculture, Fishery and Bee keeping) so as to reduce drastically unemployment that could mar their future by involving in undesirable behaviours.
