ABSTRACT
The study is about “Human Capital Development and the
Millennium Development Goals in Rivers-State between
2003 – 2008”. The study was also embarked upon because
of the state of human capital development in Rivers-state.
The level of human capital development in the state is so
poor inspite of the efforts government proclaim it is making.
For this reason, the researcher tried to answer the
unresolved questions of; (a) why is Rivers-state slow in
development inspite of its much ado about Human Capital?
(b) What is the possibility of Rivers-State to achieve the
millennium Development Goals with the state of its human
capital development in 2015? The aforementioned questions
agitated the mind of the researcher to this study. The fact is
that, if the target of the millennium development Goals must
be met, then, the aforementioned questions must be
answered. This is because, without human capital
development, the achievement of the MDGs in 2015 will be a
mirage. From the study, we found out that human capital
development in River-state between 2003-2008 is less than
40% and this will adversely affect the realization of the
MDGs in the state in 2015. Besides, the government is not
making adequate provisions for human capital development
in the state. To this end, we recommended that Rivers-state
government should intensify its effort in making budgetary
allocation to human capital development and also, take as a
priority the training of its staff annually.
