This paper reviewed the observed disappearing world of artisans such as bricklayers, plumbers, electricians and the rest of them in Nigeria. Data was collected through in-depth interview and secondary sources to examine the reasons and implications of such trend. The results show that lack of interest get rich quick syndrome, declined value system ‘japa’ syndrome are some of the reasons, the implication of which is the domination of such sector by foreigners who know the importance and relevance of the sector to individuals and the nation at large. The paper concluded, among others, that the youths, most especially and importantly, need to be encouraged to embrace this all important area of economic development as it will reduce the rate of unemployment in the country.
