With the problems of how to cope with the growth of an unemployment rate, high rate of inflation, balance of payment urbanization and the increasing population particularly Nigeria.
There is no doubt that unemployment is a major economic problem which cut across all nation of the world. The extent and consequence of this global phenomenon are known but dealing with them are arduous.
