Nigerian Youth Unemployment — Power BI Dashboard
I built this Power BI dashboard to analyse youth unemployment across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones using data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
The aim was to take the data beyond a spreadsheet and make it easier to see where unemployment and related challenges are more pronounced.
What I worked on
Created KPI cards for the main unemployment indicators
Compared unemployment rates across the six geopolitical zones
Analysed the difference between female and male unemployment
Looked at NEET rates (young people not in education, employment or training)
Added a zone slicer so users can explore the data by region
Created DAX measures for gender gap and above-average unemployment
Added key findings and programme recommendations based on the results
One of the main findings was that the South East had the highest youth unemployment rate at 14.8%, with a NEET rate of 29.6%.
Tools: Power BI, DAX, Microsoft Excel
Data: National Bureau of Statistics Nigeria — Labour Force Survey
This project helped me practise turning raw data into a dashboard that can be used to understand patterns and support programme and policy decisions.:
