This policy note is a diagnostic of the
state of Nigerian skills and human capital. It seeks to
understand the kinds and levels of human capital that
Nigeria possesses to support its efforts toward economic
competitiveness over the next two decades. It also looks at
inefficiencies of the Nigerian skills-building system,
including the barriers to growth, barriers to sharing
prosperity, and presents policy recommendations and actions
to overcome these constraints. The policy note offers key
insights into the drivers of the labor market, the
underlying analysis of why Nigeria has been unable to reduce
its poverty rate over time, the jobs landscape, and the
drivers, dimensions, and directions for skills development
to transform the Nigerian economy. The emphasis is on
directions for public sector responsibility and
public-private partnerships. The study reinforces the nexus
between the jobs and the employability. Finally, it provides
the analytical bases and policy and programmatic directions
for the government of Nigeria in keeping with the World Bank
country partnership strategy (FY2014-17). |
