CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
There is no issue that should be
addressed as a matter of urgent national importance than that of skills
acquisition by the youth, considering the failure of our basic education
to yield the expected positive result with its attendant consequences
such as armed robbering, kidnapping, and host of others. This paper
discuses the importance of skill acquisition in national development and
suggests ways it can be encourage in the country. According to Encerta
Dictionary (2009), a skill is seen as ability to do something well,
usually gained through training or experience. Skill acquisition and
generation of employment have remained a constant factor in Nigeria
Government policy. The National Youth Employment and skills acquisition
programme was initiated by the Government to promote self employment and
self reliance in the generation of gainful self employment. The
following study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the
programme. The type of skill that can be acquired by the youth include
A-Vocational carpentry, hair dressing, fashion designing, tailoring etc
B- Mechanic, electrical, repair of GSM handset, wrist watches, air conditioners etc

youthful period which is a very critical one that have been noted as an
essential time for training in entrepreneurship , provide a positive
distractive from the self and aggressive behaviour that are frequently
associated with adolescents and growing up (woolflk 1998). In a study of
American adolescents in 1998 it was reported that a good number of the
youth had little information about life and life expectation. If this is
true, youths in a developed nation what can be said about Nigerian
youth? This critical age however is the right time to teach them the
concept of entrepreneurship to help them learn wealth creation.
