1.2STATEMENT OF RESEARCH PROBLEM
The problem identified by this
research is the existence of very large numbers of unemployed graduates
from various tertiary institution in Kaduna north local government,
whose skills are necessary for the growth and development of the
political economy of Nigeria and the observed fact that the problem
effects all fields specialization, age, sex, tribe and religion, and it
increase without feasible solution as more labor force are produced.
Therefore
It is interested in finding out and critically examining the structure,
the impact of the problem of unemployment on the political economy of
the local government, as well as the security challenges.
1.3RESEARCH QUESTION.
This research is therefore interested in finding out and critically examining and answering the following questions:
1.
what is the structure or characteristics of unemployed people of
Kaduna north local government with special reference to age, sex,
educational, qualification, tribe, and religion?.
2. Is there any
significant relationship between political thuggery and tribal and
religious conflict as security challenges and unemployment in Kaduna
north local government? To what extent does it affect the security of
the local government?
3. How effective is the effort of the local
government with special reference to the national directorate of
employment scheme on self employment?
1.4 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The Objective of the study is to find out:
1.
To examine the structure or feature of unemployed people in Kaduna
North Local Government with special reference to age, sex, educational
qualification, tribe and religion.
2. To necessary the significant
relationship between political thuggery or tribal and religion conflict
as security challenges as well as unemployment in Kaduna North Local
Government.
3. To assess effort of the local government with
special references to the national directorate of employment schemes on

1.5 SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY
This research is
significant in various ways. It tries to determine the structure,
consequence and the relationship between political thuggery and tribal
and religious conflict as security challenge and unemployment in Kaduna
north local government and suggest solutions. In doing so, I hope that:
Local
government authorities and policy makers would be properly educated on
the colossal waste as a result of unemployment of high level of man
power required through various training, the authorities will know which
age brackets among unemployed peoples are most affected and also where
tribe or religion is significant, it may assist in answering many
questions on issues of marginalization and consequent youth protests.
Furthermore, the political elites will realize through the study that
insecurity within the system may have been worsened as a result of
unemployment, and how budget on security may be reduced and use in
reducing unemployment, however, to the ordinary reader, it’s important
to make him realize the grave situation of unemployment more especially
the student or would be graduate whose mind needs to be prepared for the
task ahead. Apart from the fact that he must study hard for good grade,
he must ready to be self employed instead of being a job seeker on
graduation, thus, on a much general assessment, this study is
significant as it will bring to bare the economic and political
consequences of failure of the system to utilize graduates to generate
economic growth and development.
1.6SCOPE AND LMITATION OF THE STUDY
The
geographical area for the research is Kaduna north local government, it
includes Doka which is the headquarters of the local government and 12
wards of the local government as follows: Kawo/Rafin-guza,
Badarawa/Malali, Unguwar-sarki, Unguwar-rimi, Unguwan-dosa, Gaji
Unguwar–shanu/Abakwa, Unguwan-kanawa/Hayin-banki, Shaba, Kabala, and
Unguwan-Liman.
Involves the use of survey techniques which normally
characterized by limitations from answers by respondents .one major
limitation of this study is the paucity of data on relevant literature
on the phrase “security challengesâ€, as a result of this, I decided to
use two challenges which are political thuggery and tribal and religious
conflict. It’s also difficult to establish the population of unemployed
people in Kaduna north local government which cannot be realistically
estimated. it’s an area which not much study has been done .there is
also the problem of response and how to get the unemployed .though they
are in the streets, it cannot just find them in the class room. It may
go unconventional by appealing to employers of labor who are conducting
interviews of employment to give the questionnaire to the applicants.
it’s a costly research as data collection entails both travelling and
sponsorship of research assistants.
