Unemployment of youth in Nigeria has become an epidemic that only a well – directed  education system can bring about the desired change, it is true that the Nigerian education is more literary and academic, often times lacking  practical and professional skills, making the Nigerian youth unemployable.

Teachers and academic institution need to incorporate entrepreneurship education in the education system so that graduates can be self -employed,for instance in Germany ,young people undergo a three-year apprenticeship programme which provides adequate qualification for youth employment, this has made unemployment of Germans the last in the industrialized world.

Teachers and academic institutions need to play the role of change agent in the Nigeria education sector by placing emphasis on self -directed learning where learners experience become a source of learning, learners can learn from their own unique experience making the individual more dynamic, leading  to individual employability.
