Abstract
This research investigates the linkages between human capital investment and poverty reduction in Nigeria. Human capital, comprising education, healthcare, and skills development, plays a crucial role in determining individuals' economic and social capabilities. Addressing poverty requires a comprehensive understanding of how investments in human capital contribute to alleviating economic disparities and improving living conditions. Through a mixed-methods approach involving data analysis and case studies, this study explores the impact of human capital investments on poverty reduction in Nigeria. The findings shed light on the key factors influencing the effectiveness of such investments, providing insights for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to unlock prosperity and reduce poverty in the Nigerian context.
