Despite commitments from political leaders, many youth remain unskilled, jobless, and poverty-stricken, increasing susceptibility to anti-social behavior due to weak home, community, and economic support.

In spite of the  promises by the successive political leaders and policymakers that youth development will be given priority attention Nigeria has an army of unskilled, jobless and poverty-stricken youth who are prone to  anti-social behavior and violence because many of them appear to lack home and community supports as  well as economic opportunities. This article argues that investment in positive youth development  programs is the key to empowering them with the skills and knowledge to grow into productive and  responsible adults; it also helps to improve their living conditions, take care of others as well as to  resolve social conflicts effectively. Drawing from available pertinent literature this article will, through descriptive design and in-depth analysis, recommend strategies to assess the efficacy of youth  development programs and manage, control or resolve conflicts in Nigeria.  \nKeywords: Youth development, Skills acquisition, Conflict resolution, Intervention, Assessment, Strategies, Adult role model, Community development, Nigeria.  \nContents  \n1.
