Nigeria is one of nation states on the continent of Africa whose cultures, languages and other national identities were not defined before their formations. The 'mandatory marriage' between the predominantly Christian Southern protectorate and the predominantly Muslim Northern protectorate in 1914- without prior consultation with other ethnic nationalities created a national identity question that continues to pervade the modern Nigeria state (Momah, 2013). Consequent upon this, youth education in integration of multicultural traditions and ethno-regional mandates; narrowing the gaps between rural-urban livelihoods; bridging the divides between ethnic and geographical access to resources, and developing a national identity was envisaged as an integral aspect in addressing nation-building problems (Abuduntu, 2010; Ibukun and Aboluwodi, 2010).
