This lecture will be focusing on "Youth Unemployment: The Challenges of Skill Gap". In other words, I will be looking at the "mismatch between the demand for labour in the corporate worlds and the supply of labour by educational institutions".
I believe the topic at hand is timely, given the incessant rise in unemployment that has plagued Nigeria for years now—and which, as new graduates, some of you will likely face.
