Description
Summary:This study examined an assessment of success made in local government empowerment programmes and economic empowerment of youth. The study adopted descriptive research of the expo-facto type. A sample of 295 participants was randomly selected. Reliable instrument were used to collect data from participants still in business. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson product, moment correlation, and multiple regression analysis.

It was also discovered that in reverse empowerment was jointly predicted by economic and social status. But economic status is the only potent predictor of empowerment programme.
