The chosen population for this study is twenty nine (29) registered food and beverage firms in Port Harcourt. The census approach was adopted to select our respondents for the study and the researcher purposively selected two hundred and ninety (290) respondents for the study, however only two hundred and forty (240) respondents provided information for the analysis of the data.

The countries so referred to as developing, are in a hurry to “catch up” with the more developed western countries of Europe, the U.S.A, Japan .Russia, China, among others. To ensure sustainable economic growth and development in an economy, investment in human capital is therefore essential. This paper attempts to assess Nigeria’s effort at human capital development for the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs).Other specific objectives are to examine the role of the university in intellectual capital development; to examine Nigeria’s skill acquisition programmes and unemployment reduction. Nigeria’s development challenges were identified to include in-adequate financing, economic, socio¬ political, environmental, regional, science and technology, and corruption challenges were x- rayed. The methodology adopted was that of the content analysis as sources of data were all secondary from publications of the UN, the National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria’s report to the Rio+2 summit, and a review of publications in reputable international journals.

This paper attempts to examine the impact of globalization on the Nigerian economy. The paper focuses on the financial sector with particular reference to the Banking sub-sector. The two strands of globalization are x-rayed while the powerful forces that propel globalization are identified. Although the empirical studies point to the fact that Nigeria's level of integration with the global capital market is still low, it is evident from this study that globalization has a profound impact on recapitalization of Banks in Nigeria, which precipitated a robust Banking regulation/supervision, remodeling of the Banking system, a rapid expansion of the telecommunications and information and communication technology (ICT). The paper concludes that the revolution in telecommunication and ICT has a profound impact on the Nigerian Banking sub-sector. It is recommended that economic policy authorities put in place appropriate macroeconomic policies that will deepen and hasten financial integration and stimulate freer flow offunds into the economy.
