The general belief is that unemployment among youths is a reality, and unemployed youths have become a threat to lives and properties even within families.

Based on data obtained from Gombe State Bureau of Statistics which shows that, Gombe State has not been immune from this spiraling scourge of unemployment. To address this problem, data was generated from both secondary and primary sources.

The study also revealed that the impact of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) on unemployed youths in Gombe State has not been positive and have not been effectively and adequately achieved its set objectives of reducing the level of unemployment. Based on the findings, the study recommends, amongst others that government at all levels should strengthen existing job creation strategies and agencies.
