Abstract
This study is on curbing the Unemployment problem in Nigeria through entrepreneurial development.
The study is motivated by the fact that unemployment problem like corrupt practices in Nigeria is a
hydra headed problem and thus require the collective effort of all. The study made use of primary data
sourced from 220 respondents in Kogi State through administering of questionnaire. Their responses
were tested using appropriate statistical tools like the simple percentage and the Chi-square research
techniques; our study revealed that the unemployment problem in Nigeria can be solved through
entrepreneurial development and that government effort in this regard is not sufficient given the
magnitude of the unemployed in Nigeria. Therefore, the study recommended that solving the
unemployment problem should not be left in the hands of the government alone rather we should
employed the public private partnership approach so as to allow the involvement of private individuals
in helping to establish entrepreneurial development centres as well.
