THE STATE AND HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA

Development of human capital in most developing countries of the world is a state policy matter pursued vigorously in many countries. Indeed, in most modern nation-state’s constitutions, including that of Nigeria, education, healthcare, and other ingredients of human capital development are rights of the citizens which the state is obliged to provide for them. However, some states show greater commitment to this noble task than others. The most important aspects of investment in human capital development are education/training and healthcare delivery. According to Ovenseri-Ogbomo (2006),

THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE ON HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

In the traditional neo-classical growth model, developed by Robert Solow and Trevor Swan in the 1950s, the output of an economy grows in response to larger inputs of capital and labor (all physical inputs). To the neo-classical growth models, non-economic variables, such as human health, skills, knowledge, etc., have no function in the growth process of an economy. This line of thought was described as the Exogenous growth theory and it does not explain why countries with little capital and labor grow more than countries with abundance of these resources. 

A new theory described as the endogenous growth theory emerged in the 1980s, particularly

THE CONCEPT OF VISION 202020

The Nigerian government is known for rolling out good development plans and programs over the years. Apart from the first, second, and third national development plans, there was also the vision 2010 development program, all of which were not implemented to the latter so as to achieve the desired result. With the relative political stability in the country following the sustainable democratic order and the acceptance of the country by the international committee, the nation envisions a great future ahead.

Furthermore, Goldman Sachs’ classification of countries identified Nigeria to be one of the N-11 countries, which are countries that have the potential for attaining global competitiveness based on their economic and

THE CONCEPT OF HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT

To understand the concept of human capital development, we must first examine the term human capital and move on to its development. The human being is the most important asset anywhere in the world. Natural scientists opined that the human being is very unique among living things. This is because of the high level of reasoning human beings demonstrate in their relationships within their environments. This reasonableness has made men to rapidly change their living conditions and their societies; hence, many scholars view human beings as capital to organizations and nations, though this view is not without criticism. In this sense, human capital refers to the stock of productive skills and technical knowledge embodied in labor.  Lev and Schwartz (1971) fall short of proffering a formal definition to the concept of human capital, but stated that it is, “…

THE CENTRALITY OF HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT TO THE ATTAINMENT OF NIGERIA’S VISION 202020 DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME

                                                                                            ABSTRACT 

This article examined the centrality of human capital development as a way of achieving Nigeria’s vision 202020 development program. The paper argued that human beings are the greatest wealth and resources of a nation, which will coordinate all other resources to achieve development, therefore any country, which fails to lay the foundation of its development on its human resources, will also fail to achieve development. The author described human capital development as the totality of efforts aimed at developing and grooming of human beings so as to present them fit and qualified to be productive to themselves, in particular, and the society, in general.  The study also looked at the concept of vision 202020, which is aimed at making Nigeria one of the 20 largest economies in the world by the year 2020.
