Abstract


This paper tends to posit that youth education is a prerequisite for peace building and sustainable development in Nigeria. A glance looks at the term ‘youth education’ is often misunderstood, conceived differently from different scholars. And the practices showcased that youth education is of no use in peace building. This is based on the assumption that violent usually starts from youth. It is in this regard that the researcher adopts analytic and expository method in carrying out this work. So that the readers should understand what youth education / education is all about. The researcher concludes that youth education should lay emphasis on the criteria of an educated man not only on the certificate. The researcher also makes some suggestion that youth should involve in political matter, and that government should emphasis on political elites – not on certificate award.

Keywords
