Introduction
Nigeria is a country in sub sahara Africa with
a population estimate of 200million.
Figures shows 68% of the Nigerian
population is literate, and the rate for men
(75.7%) is higher than that for women
(60.6%).
Nigeria currently has a "low" Human
Development Index, ranking 152nd in the
world.
No economy develops without skilled human
resources to drive that growth, hence, Nigeria must
prioritise human capital development for its
economic growth.

HUMAN CAPITAL IN NIGERIA
A child born in Nigeria today will be 34 percent as productive when she grows up as she could be
if she enjoyed complete education and full health.
Probability of Survival to Age 5. 90 out of 100 children born in Nigeria survive to age 5.
Expected Years of School. In Nigeria, a child who starts school at age 4 can expect to complete
8.2 years of school by her 18th birthday.
Harmonized Test Scores. Students in Nigeria score 325 on a scale where 625 represents advanced
attainment and 300 represents minimum attainment.
Learning-adjusted Years of School. Factoring in what children actually learn, expected years of
school is only 4.2 years. • Adult Survival Rate. Across Nigeria, 65 percent of 15-year olds will
survive until age 60. This statistic is a proxy for the range of fatal and non-fatal health outcomes
that a child born today would experience as an adult under current conditions.
Healthy Growth (Not Stunted Rate). 56 out of 100 children are not stunted. 44 out of 100 children
are stunted, and so at risk of cognitive and physical limitations that can last a lifetime.
