The study adopted descriptive survey research design. The study population comprised 390, 000 participants in the Nigerian Federal Government-organised youth empowerment programme, “N-Power Nexit Training”.

The findings showed that university graduates highly needed information on job vacancies, entrepreneurial opportunities, preparation for aptitude test/exam and job interview, resume preparation and time of job interview/aptitude test/exam; needed information on job location and discipline-related jobs; and fairly needed information on discipline-unrelated jobs and employer details; their sources of job information were the Internet, social media, print media, relatives and friends; their methods of seeking job information were starting, browsing, monitoring and extracting, while their obstacles in seeking job information were lack of information and communication skills, poor power supply, ignorance of sources of job information and abundance of inaccurate and unreliable job information.</p>
