Before joining the Federal Ministry of Finance in December, 1995, as Director, Special Duties, Mr. Stephen Oronsaye was a partner in the Accounting firm of KPMG Nigeria, which was reputed at the time to be the largest Accounting practice firm in Nigeria and one of the top eight in the world.

Statement6 Nigeria Human Capital Conference | 31 March - 1 April 2010
NIGERIA HUMAN CAPITAL: by way of introduction
I like to think that today, on the occasion of the inaugural session of the international seminar series, Nigeria Human Capital; a new chapter has been opened in human resource history of Nigeria. Numerous players have impacted on this history. Some of these history-makers are either present today or are unavoidably absent but have identified with this project and are eagerly looking forward to impacting positively on its further evolution.
At Global Village Consult, we also like to think that what makes Nigeria Human Capital conference series unique is its delicate blend of cross-sectoral stakeholders and international experts. This is deliberate. It is meant to activate cross fertilization of ideas and competences as well as facilitate the focus on holistic and practical approaches to human capital development of Nigeria. When national development is accelerated, the trickledown effect is not selective. It impacts on the individual Nigerian, the public sector and corporate Nigeria. This fact is perhaps the most potent argument to justify why a conference series of this nature is our collective business. We are therefore heralding today, a continuous, collective development process encompassing knowledge and skills, progressive attitudes as well as strong moral and ethical attitudes.
Our partners, the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPMN) has shown leadership over the years in shaping Nigeria's human resource policy and practice. They have shown leadership now by gracefully accepting invitation from Global Village Consult for partnership, to make the conference series, Nigeria Human Capital, a resounding success. The CIPMN brings to the table an unmatched potential in making Nigeria Human Capital stick in Nigeria's corporate lexicon. On our part, our resolve is to avail the Institute our global reach and exposure, as a firm of international consultants, in their drive to be the foremost people management institute in Africa, respected across the world. We have thrown to ourselves the challenge of contributing in global respect for an Institute that is fondly respected nationally.
You shall find that Nigeria Human Capital has an ambitious long-term target; one with a modest beginning, starting with this memorable inaugural session. This Conference Brochure guides you through the activities of the two-day event. It tells you who is speaking and from where the speaker's authorities as expert is derived. It catalogues our growing army of partners in Nigeria's human capital growth.
We thank you for believing in us and express confidence in the enduring partnership between you and us!

Although managing people forms an important part of every manager's job, CIPM members can provide specialist professional knowledge, advice and support on the most effective use of human resource. Along with a total commitment to the overall goals of the organization, they need a detailed understanding of economic, financial, political and social factors so they can play a full in decision making.

Nigeria Human Capital Conference | 31 March - 1 April 2010 11
I write on behalf of the Vice Chancellor, University of Abuja to send to the Organisers of Nigeria Human Capital Conference, 2010 good wishes and fruitful Celebration during the Conference.
As we all know, human capital can be defined as the stock of economically productive human capabilities, skills and knowledge which can be formed by combining innate abilities with investments in human beings. Such investments include:
? Expenditures on education
? On-the-job training
? Health and
? Nutrition
Such expenditures and investments increase future productive capacity of the individuals, organisations and the nation at large. The success of any organisation/nation depends on its ability to manage its human capital. This is because investments in human capital is said to be three times better than investment in physical inputs according to the human capital theorists.
The human capital, the social capital and organisational capital must be given priority in Nigeria if it is to achieve its Vision 20:2020 objectives in the areas of:
? Employment creation? Wealth creation? Poverty reduction ? Economic growth and sustainable development.
The Developed Countries (DCs) are able to make it today because of their human capital advantage. Therefore, human capital development becomes imperative for Nigeria. Entrepreneurship is equally important to make our graduates become creators of jobs instead of seekers of jobs.
The young men and women are said to be the world's greatest assets to the labour market given their education and training, new ideas, openness to new skills and technology, as well as mobility and adaptability, they have much to contribute to the society as citizens, human beings, innovators, entrepreneurs, workers and consumers (UN, 2007). Therefore, ensuring their employment will definitely contribute to economic growth, poverty reduction and social inclusion.Available evidence has shown that the crisis of youth employment challenges is a global phenomenon. ILO estimates that around 88 million young women and men are unemployed throughout the world and many more young people are working long hours for low pay, struggling to survive in the informal economy. This places the youth share of the total 186 million unemployed persons globally at 47 per cent, a particularly troublesome figure given the fact that the youth make up only 25 per cent of the working age population. ILO also reports an increase in intermittent (temporary, part time,
casual) work and insecure arrangements for young people in both industrialized and developing economies. This has attracted United Nations initiatives and programmes including UN Youth Employment Network (YEN) (UN, 2005).
In Nigeria, the story is not different, as the most populous country in sub-Saharan Africa; close to 35 per cent of unemployed youth in Africa are Nigerians. According to the 2006 population census, Nigeria has a population of 140 million. Youth account for about 60 percent of that population i.e. about 84 million while majority of the unemployed Nigerians are youth (FMOYD, 2008). Statistics from the Federal Ministry of Education show that over 71 per cent of those who graduated between 2000 and 2006 are roaming the streets because of lack of jobs. Unemployment was attributed to high rate of crime, militancy, hooliganism and terrorism (Vanguard Newspaper, June 26, 2008).
The challenges facing the youth in Nigeria can be summarized as follows: limited access to functional and good quality education, lack of access to qualitative health services and ravaging HIV/AIDS and other diseases, deep involvement in criminal activities, high level of joblessness and underemployment, increasing drug addiction, degraded moral values; and general disconnection from the mainstream of the society (FMOYD, 2008).
Youth unemployment constitutes the focal point in the development challenges facing Nigeria as a country. Development challenges such as low agricultural productivity, poor or inadequate infrastructure, food insecurity, falling and lately abysmal low standard of education in comparison with global standard, rural-urban migration, corruption in the public and private sectors, unwholesome political and electoral system among others circle round youth development. Youth unemployment has been on the increase in Nigeria in the last ten year. This increase covers the urban centres, their adjourning slums, and the most neglected rural areas that previously had adequate capacity for absorbing young graduates and school leavers. Youth unemployment affects both the educated and the non-educated youth within the Nigerian society (Anyanwu, 2007 and 2008).
These broad arrays of interconnected problems affecting various sectors of the Nigerian economy are key focus of various development assistance frameworks, particularly those emanating from bilateral and multilateral cooperation between Nigeria and other countries as well as those championed by international agencies such as the United Nations Organizations and other international funding agencies backed-up by various international treaties and protocols for engendering national development and attaining acceptable global benchmarks.

Goodwill Message Nigeria Human Capital Conference | 31 March - 1 April 2010 17
Barr. (Mrs) Ngozi Melifonwu,Head of Service, Anambra State
HE Governor Peter Obi,Anambra State, Nigeria
Goodwill Message From the Governor of Anambra State,His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi I send hearty and fraternal greetings on behalf of the Government and people of Anambra State to Global Village Consult, the organizers of Nigeria Human Capital Conference, and to the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria, their partners. I also salute the esteemed conferees. Its is my firm belief that the greatest investment any society can make is in the development of its human resources, because the quality of a society is assessed by the quality of its human capital. In Anambra state we call this the development of the “human Infrastructure” on which all other facets of development are emplaced and entrusted. Capacity building is the most crucial strand of the Anambra Integrated Development Strategy (ANIDS), our blueprint for development whereby we develop all sectors simultaneously. In our public sector, we have brought capacity building from the cold where we found it, to the burner, indeed the front burner. We envision a public service that is knowledgeable, versatile, efficient and fit-for-purpose in a state that has transformed into the Light of the Nation. Anambra State accesses human capacity building expertise for its personnel from local and foreign professionals and we have sponsored by ourselves and through our development partners, our officers to training seminars in Nigeria and abroad. Through our Public Service Lecture initiative, we have created opportunities for our senior management cadres to interface with great thinkers, eminent professionals and role models who have excelled in their fields of endeavour, such as Professor Pat Utomi, Dr Abraham Nwankwo, Dr Oby Ezekwesili and Engr Ernest Ndukwe, amongst others.
I have great enthusiasm and expectations in the objectives of this international conference and workshop and I trust that the knowledge garnered from it will impact positively on the participants and their respective organizations, for subsequent overall improvement of the Nigerian human infrastructure. Best regards, Mr. Peter ObiGovernor, Anambra State

Advertorial 18 Nigeria Human Capital Conference | 31 March - 1 April 2010
Engr. Sule Yakubu Bassi PhD,
Director General, Directorate of Technical Cooperation in Africa
Directorate of Technical Cooperation in Africa (DTCA).Ministry of Foreign Affairs,Plot 894, No. 11, Onitsha Crescent, (Facing Gimbiya Street)Area 11, P.M.B. 557, Garki,Abuja, Nigeria.
Established in 2001 by the Federal Government of Nigeria, the Directorate of Technical Cooperation in Africa (DTCA) has the basic mandate of attracting African Experts to enhance Africa's development by creating the enabling environment and opportunity for professionals in Nigeria and indeed, those of African descent to invest their immense intellect, expertise and skills into the economies of Africa. This is in recognition of the fact that technical cooperation is a powerful instrument of regional
steconomic integration in the 21 century, and particularly so, given the growing intensity of globalization of national economies. The argument is that to tackle the multifarious challenges of development of the fragmented and fragile African nations and their economies, there is firstly, the need to sensitize and mobilize African experts and professionals themselves to effectively participate in the process as in fact, no foreigner can sincerely develop the continent for the African. Secondly, there is the urgent need to create an enabling environment that will facilitate the required participation of experts (both within Africa and those in the Diaspora) in the development process of the continent. The goal is to bridge the widening economic and scientific gap between Africa and the rest of the world.
Mandate
The basic mandate of the DTCA is to attract African experts to enhance Africa's development by creating the enabling environment and opportunity for professionals in Nigeria and Africa and indeed those of African descent, to invest their immense intellect, expertise and skills into the economies of Africa.
Vision
To continually sensitize and mobilize African experts and professionals both within Africa and in the Diaspora and to create and enabling environment that will facilitate their required participation in the development process.
Mission
To enhance Africa's development by creating the enabling environment and opportunity for Nigerian professionals and indeed those of African descent to invest their immense intellect, expertise and skills into the economies of Africa; with the aim of bridging the widening economic and scientific gap between Africa and the rest of the world.
Programmes of the Directorate
The Directorate has successfully developed and carries out the following programmes:
? Scientific and Technical Exchange Programme (STEP)
? Compilation & Management of Database of Experts willing to Serve in Africa
? Advocacy
? Collaboration with other Organizations
? Capacity Development Programmes
? Technical Programmes
