Abstract

This research investigates the relationship between problems connected to youth and the dynamics of managing the public sector in Nigeria. It explores the ramifications, difficulties, and methods for addressing these issues. The research utilises a thematic literature review and analysis of secondary data to identify the primary elements that contribute to young discontent, such as unemployment, poverty, corruption, and social marginalisation. The challenges of cultism, ethnic conflicts, religious extremism, and governance failings are aggravated by these factors, resulting in heightened social unrest and political instability. The results emphasise the crucial need of implementing efficient crisis management measures to reduce the negative impact of youth-related crises on the administration of the public sector. To tackle these difficulties, it is necessary to adopt a comprehensive strategy that gives priority to investing in education, vocational training, and programmes that empower young people. Enhancing the organisational structures, advocating for effective governance methods, and cultivating cooperation among the government, civil society, and the private sector are crucial measures in establishing robust public sector institutions that can effectively address the requirements of Nigeria's young population. Nigeria can overcome youth-related issues and develop a stable, egalitarian, and successful society by implementing proactive governance changes and making investments in the future of its youths.
