The aim was to find out the most important sources of information about entrepreneurship among job-seeking youth and to examine the extent to which job-seeking youths use their acquired knowledge about entrepreneurship information. This study used a descriptive research design with a survey method and questionnaire as data collection instruments, and a Likert scale format with five-point items and a simple percentage method was used for data analysis. The study was guided by source credibility theory. The population for this study encompassed all job-seeking youths in Ogun State, ranging from 18 to 35 years old. To ensure an adequate representation of the population, a multi-stage sampling technique that encompassed cluster sampling, random sampling, and available sampling was adopted. The study revealed that job seekers in Ogun State received entrepreneurial information through the mainstream media as well as through social media and interpersonal sources, religious centers, community leaders, family members, and friends, and that the majority of the job-seeking youths utilized the entrepreneurial information being received. It was recommended that the Ogun State Government create communities of job seekers through WhatsApp and other online platforms for educating youths on entrepreneurship. }, number={1}, journal={Nasarawa Journal Of Multimedia And Communication Studies}, author={Samson Owolabi and Maria Kisugu Obun-Andy}, year={2024}, month={Apr.}, pages={119–127}}
