Insecurity is a condition precedent for any successful entrepreneurial idea. The creation of a country’s wealth and dynamism depends upon the competitiveness of its firms, which, in turn, relies fundamentally on the capabilities of its entrepreneurs. Unemployment and poverty are believed to be among Nigeria's major causes of National insecurity. The paper examined the unemployment situation in the present economy as it affects school leavers, graduates, and many working classes. Over the years, the number of graduates produced by various higher institutions of learning in Nigeria continues to rise, with skills only useful for the formal sector, which is growing at a snail's pace and thus unable to absorb graduates. The key to the economic development of any nation is Home economics education, which includes food and nutrition, home management, clothing and textile, family living, interior decoration, child development, tourism, recreation, manufacturing, and merchandising, to mention a few. Charity begins at home. The study revealed that Home economics is a sure means of livelihood for any enterprising individual who cares to make a living from it. Home economics education provides citizens with the necessary Home knowledge, skills, and attitudes that prepare them for productive lives, thereby securing their future and that of the generations yet to come. Nigeria's abundant human and natural resources are underutilized mainly because of a lack of political will, a poor educational system, and other problems. This paper recommends that the government give entrepreneurship education more attention in terms of funding and infrastructural development to create employment for youths in Nigeria. It offered suggestions for sustaining functional, qualitative, and practical home economics education programmes to attain and improve individual and national self-reliance and self-satisfaction.
