Investing in human capital is the best investment any country can do moving forward.

Human capital is basically 'stock of knowledge, habits, creativity etc embodied in the ability to perform labor so as to produce economic value' - source: wikipedia

Development economists have found that investing in human capital either through education or training could/would add value to the economy i.e. Economic growth.

How can we invest in people? Is it possible for the rich to help?

Well, it is - if the government refuses to follow policy advice or abandon all their economic developmental policies, then a suggestion could be that the rich, could venture into investing in people.

How could they do this you ask?

Well, I know we tend to import shows from the UK or US e.g Who wants to be a millionaire, Nigerias got talent and co. My take then is, why cant we do 'The apprentice' Nigerian version? You know the one where Lord Sugar invests £250k on a candidate with a very good business plan after about 10 business tasks - competing among roughly 13-18 people from different backgrounds.
The American version is/was run by Donald Trump.

Can our own version, if we ever do copy this be ran by Dangote, otedola or any of the rich nigerians available? Let us look inward and help make the country better - invest in us now and develop the country.

If given the opportunity, we can make a difference.
