What is the Nigeria unemployment rate

Nigeria's unemployment rate is a significant issue that the country is currently facing. As of the most recent data, the unemployment rate in Nigeria stands at around 27.1%, one of the highest in the world. This high level of unemployment is attributed to various factors, including a lack of job opportunities, a mismatch between the skills of the workforce and the needs of employers, and a growing population that outpaces the rate of job creation. The high unemployment rate in Nigeria not only leads to economic instability and poverty but also contributes to social and political unrest. Efforts are being made by the government and other stakeholders to address this issue through initiatives aimed at promoting job creation, skills development, and entrepreneurship.
