“…However, the category of self-employment within the labor market has been largely overlooked in many job creation plans implemented in Cross River State (Owan et al, 2023a). Studies conducted by different scholars reveal that the training provided to adolescents has not effectively equipped them with the necessary skills, values, attitudes, and competencies essential for fostering job creation and self-employment (Madumere-Obike, 2016; Nwangwu, 2017;Owan et al, 2022bOwan et al, , 2022c.…”

This study investigated skill acquisition training and unemployment reduction among youths in Cross River State, Nigeria. Two research questions and two null hypotheses were formulated to guide the Study. An ex-post facto research design was employed for the Study. A sample of nine hundred and seventy-one (971) respondents was used for the Study. The selection was made through a multi-stage sampling technique. The instrument for data collection was a Questionnaire. The researchers and two experts from Measurement and Evaluation, University of Calabar, validated the instrument. The reliability estimate of the instrument was established through the Cronbach alpha method. The statistical tool employed to test the hypotheses was Simple linear regression. The hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance. The result of the analyses revealed that “fashion designing skill acquisition and unisex hairstyling skill acquisition training significantly predicted unemployment reduction among youths in Cross River State’.

“…In Nigeria, the lesson contents and learning experiences offered to learners, arising from the previous or existing school curriculum at all levels of education, have been criticised by scholars. Due to societal advancement (occasioned by the pervasive development in science, information and communication technology), the quality of products supplied to society from higher education institutions in Nigeria is often a mismatch for most workplace demands (Owan et al, 2022a;2022b). Consequently, there seem to be many deficiencies among Nigerian graduates, leading to the high rate of unemployment often reported in the literature (Ekaette et al, 2019;Innocent, 2014;Nyong, 2013;Odigwe et al, 2018).…”

“…Even so, meeting these job creation expectations seems to be a hallucination than a reality, owing to the skill gap/deficiencies among most graduates. For instance, it has been stated that not many Nigerian graduates can employ themselves or create jobs for others (Owan et al, 2022a). As a result, they tend to rely solely on the government for employment opportunities.…”

Curriculum reengineering, web-based technology acquisition, and job creation among Nigerian tertiary institution graduates were all examined in this research. The researchers used a descriptive survey design following the quantitative research approach. The study included all Nigerian graduates eligible for national service or its exemption who earned their diplomas or degrees between 2016 and 2021. The data was gathered via an online survey titled "Curriculum Re-engineering, Acquisition of Emerging Technologies, and Job Creation Questionnaire (CRAETJCQ). To assemble the data for this study, we used a snowball method. There were 4,874 replies countrywide after four months of data collection; however, only 4,628 responses satisfied the data analysis conditions after screening out irrelevant responses. Results indicated low curriculum reengineering in Nigerian postsecondary institutions. Nigerian graduates had a poor adoption of new web-based technologies but are increasingly using them for word processing, graphics, data science and data analysis. Nevertheless, only a few graduates employed emerging techs for other purposes (such as printing, YouTube video creation, course design and development, software development, digital marketing, online advertising, and consumer outreach). Although 58.30 per cent of graduates reported having not created any job, 41.70 per cent have done so between 2016 and 2021. Of the 1,930 graduates who owned at least one small or medium enterprise, 58.96% had no employees, whereas 41.04% had hired at least one employee between 2016 and 2021. The graduates' job creation index was estimated to be approximately 50% using a new formula. Based on these results, conclusions and recommendations were made.

This chapter used a qualitative approach to investigate and describe the palm wine production and alcohol distillation practices of the indigenous people of the Yala-Obubra community in Cross River State, Nigeria. The chapter involved palm wine tappers and alcohol distillers (n = 10). A focus group discussion was held with the respondents, with audio recordings and notes for data collection. The study documented several practices in palm wine production and alcohol distillation and discovered declining palm tree population, climate change, high cost of production, lack of access to credit and social amenities, and stealing as some challenges faced in producing palm wine and distillation of alcohol. The chapter recorded some economic opportunities in the indigenous production of palm wine and distillation of alcohol, and discussed the relevance of these two traditional practices in promoting entrepreneurship among students. The implications of this study's findings were discussed for the promotion of sustainable production and preservation of these traditional practices in Nigeria.
