An analysis of brain-drain and its impact on manpower development in Nigeria

Article Abstract:

The outflow of professionals has adversely affected Nigeria's economic and human resource development since the 1970s. Higher educational and research facilities, job opportunities, better work environment and living standards, and higher income lure Nigerian emigrants. Unfair recruitment policies, faulty criteria of evaluating foreign diplomas, and underemployment at home act as the push factors. Human resource deficiency has reduced public sector efficiency in areas, such as education, technology and medicine. Government initiatives to improve manpower development is discussed.
