Encouraging students’ creativity in science, technical and applied arts can promote our local industries and make the knowledge gained in secondary school education to become useful ideas for problem solutions. In this paper, a research study was conducted to identify the natural resources available in Katsina State that will support local industries and empower youth to practically display their skills as productive agents. Katsina State has 28 mineral resource types considered as veritable entrepreneurial sources that will promote local industries. The findings of the study have shown that Katsina State possesses very good entrepreneurial skills in carpentry, dye works, pottery, ornament works, wood carving, and leather works. From these crafts they produce furniture, garments, pots, interior decorations, and bags. One of the recommendations is that the Katsina State Government should provide funds to make our educational facilities and resources more functional to empower our teaming youths.
