| dc.description.abstract | <jats:p>Unemployment has become more alarming within the past decade as Nigerian higher institution of learning produced a large number of University and College graduate for few jobs. The gravity of this situation resulted to the formation of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) with the mandate to articulate programmes that will help combat mass unemployment in Nigeria. This paper examines the performance of the agency as well as assesses the trend in the unemployment rate at pre and post establishment of NDE in Nigeria. Data were collected through survey questionnaire and from National Bureau of Statistics. We find that many unemployed graduate does not have the opportunity to participate in the NDE programme, insufficient funds, political interference, corruption and lack of access to loan are among the key factor militating against the success of the programme. We recommends that State government in Nigeria should to contribute in solving unemployment in Nigeria and Federal Government should support the NDE programme in term of financial and politician should stop interferes with the activities of NDE.</jats:p> | |
