Abstract

The two main issues - unemployment and insecurity - are related to youths as shown by National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) according to as cited reviewed literatures. The curve of national unemployment and youth unemployment keeps rising in direct proportion which shows that youth unemployment is a great factor. Insecurity is a by-product of the unemployment of the youths. Lack of social and technical skills in the dynamic technological based modern industries are major causes of unemployment and loss of jobs of these youths are caused. Reduction in the youth unemployment will definitely lead to reduction insecurity. This paper discussed the prospects of utilizing Technical and Vocational Education to train and retrain the Nigerian youths in technical and entrepreneurial skills to be employable and sustain their jobs locally and globally. Nigerian Board of Technological Education (NBTE) and other national bodies responsible for national educational policy needs to re-strategize in making TVET to be an all-encompassing educational program to cater for all youths in informal and formal technical education.
