The majority of graduates from Nigeria higher institutions lack employability skills. They lack essential functional and enabling knowledge, skills and attitudes required by the millennium workplace, necessary for career success for all levels of education. The lack of employability of Nigerian graduates is partly as a result of the weak education system in Nigeria which does not prepare school leavers for work and the economic situation in the country. Dabalen, Oni & Adekola (2000) found that the Nigerian employability of Nigerian graduates is outrightly poor. They observed through a survey of employers of labour that University graduates are poorly trained and unproductive on the job, Graduate skills have steadily deteriorated over the past decade, and that Shortcomings are particularly severe in oral and written communication, and in applied technical skills. In a study conducted by NUC in 2004 on Labour Market Expectations of Nigerian Graduates, it was found out that university education in Nigeria does not adequately prepare graduates for work. This is manifested in the number of deficiencies the graduates exhibit in the work place, namely: lack of analytical and ICT skills required in work place; lack of entrepreneurial and problem solving/decision making skills; inadequate technical skills as exhibited by their inability to appropriately apply acquired knowledge to the workplace; ignorance in the use of instruments/equipment due to inadequate practical experience; minimal comprehension of problems and low solution profferability. Asuquo and Agboola, (2014) in assessing the employability of graduates in South-South Nigeria equally found out that that the employability of Nigerian Universities output is low regardless of the demographics. This scenario suggests that there is need to retool and retrain Nigeria school leavers if they must compete favourably in today’s digital and advanced world.Â
