There is high level of youth unemployment in Nigeria with many negative consequences or its attendant challenges such as security challenges or insecurity problem like kidnapping, armed robbery, violence, conflicts, armed banditry, insurgency, militancy and other socio-economic challenges like prostitution, drugs among many others. These myriad challenges have long retarded or inhibited the development of the Nigerian economy. As such, this paper examines the need for youth empowerment and self-reliance in order to propel self-employment among the youths in Nigeria. Findings from the paper reveal that there is high level or rate of youth unemployment in Nigeria couple with the limited number of job opportunities provided by the government so the only way out of such situation for the youth is empowerment and self-reliance so as to be self-employed. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations made. The paper therefore recommends among others that (i) Entrepreneurship should be taught as an activity (practical) and not just as an academic field or Entrepreneurship studies should be largely practical based to enable students acquire adequate skills and knowledge needed for self-employment, (ii) Appropriate conducive environment such as quality infrastructural facilities and start-up capacity should be provided to the youth by the government. In other words, Government should provide basic infrastructures such as regular power, good roads, communication etc for entrepreneurship to boost the Nigerian economy. The paper adopts qualitative method of data analysis, drawing from secondary sources.
