Abstract
Unemployment problem among Nigerian youth has been a major problem facing the nation and different methods and measures had been applied to curb and control the menace. This paper considered Agripreneurship as a prime means for reducing unemployment among Nigerian youth in Ogun State. The study employed a descriptive research design. A sample of one hundred and twenty (120) staff were randomly selected from some selected farms in Yewa South local government. Two hypotheses were raised and regression was used to analyse the data collected. The research result shows that Agripreneurship encompasses important economic activities that could be employed at any level to tackle unemployment especially graduate unemployment. The findings indicate that there is a statistically significant relationship between Agripreneurship and employment generation, this implies that Agripreneurship has the potential to contribute to a country’s economic development by creating employment and economic sustenance for the teeming youth. This paper among others calls for urgent attention of all stakeholders in educational and curriculum development in Nigeria to incorporate Agripreneurship into Entrepreneurship development programmes in educational institution especially higher educational institution. Also, Government should enshrine in school curriculum especially higher institution of learning the appropriate policies that will instill Agripreneurial skills in Nigerian youth.
