Abstract

Triple-helix model (THM) establishes a working relationship between government, industry and university in order to solve diverse issues of human endeavours. The study aims to use THM to address the issue of unemployment with specific focus on agricultural sector in Nigeria. The study is premised on quantitative techniques. Two thousand questionnaires were administered on potential unemployed graduates in Nigeria. One hundred and twenty questionnaires were administered on four financial institutions and 100 questionnaires were administered on ministries, parastatals and agencies (MDAs) in Nigeria. Information elicited from respondents was processed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and Number Cruncher Statistical System (NCSS). The findings of the study revealed that unemployed graduates are keenly interested in embarking on agricultural activities, if enabling environment is provided. The study therefore recommends that enabling environment should be provided to reduce unemployment in Nigeria.
