ABSTRACT
The level of labour force being consumed determines the progress of any given society. This is because it leads to a reduction in criminal acts and non-wastage of manpower, therefore, unemployment becomes a very crucial issue requiring great attention. In Nigeria, the story is the same, the establishment of small scale business is very vital for the solving of unemployment problem. This research work focuses on solving unemployment problem through the establishment of small scale industries. Small scale business requires little capital investment, yet it controls a fair share of the market. Awgu Local government was used as the study area, to examine how small scale business has alleviated the unemployment menace. Information for this research work was obtained through primary and secondary data. The sources of primary data were personal interviews, personal observation and questionnaire while secondary data was collected from Newspapers, journals and textbooks, tabular presentation, use of percentage to analyses the data obtained.
