Abstract

The African population is about 60% youthful, and there is chronic unemployment among the youth on the continent (Awogbenle & Iwuamadi, 2010; Jardim, 2021). On average, a graduate is likely to land their first paying job 3 years after graduation (Arthur-Holmes et al., 2022). Therefore, most graduates resort to taking more academic courses or starting a business to survive harsh economic situations on the continent.
