Abstract
The study was carried out to find out how policies for promoting
Agricultural education in tertiary institutions can help in reducing youth
restiveness in North-eastern Nigeria. The sample size for the study was 52
directors from the ministry of education and 88 extension agents. A
structured questionnaire was used for collecting data from the respondents
and the data collected were analyzed using weighted mean to answer the
research questions and t-test to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of
significant. It was found out that all the items identified were government
policy measures that promote agricultural education towards reducing
youth restiveness. It was therefore recommended that the four measures
identified in this study be considered by government as guidelines for
reducing youth restiveness in tertiary institution in North Eastern Nigeria.
