Human Capital Development And Millennium Development Goals (Mdgs) In Rivers State; 2003 – 2008

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.
