Abstract

Japa-Japada the two opposite words used for emigration and relocation in Nigeria are not quite unfamiliar particularly among the Nigerian youths. With the exodus occurring daily in the country despite the financial implications, this decision that a large number of citizens have taken, are taking and may continue to take calls for concern. The move has caused so much brain drain with its attendant effects on socio-economic and socio-business development in Nigeria. It is in the light of this, that this study hopes to investigate the resultant effect of migration and brain drain on Nigerian socio-economic and socio-business development. It is expected that if the enabling environment, good governance, adequate security and massive investment in social overhead capital are adequately put in place, the country stands to benefit if these emmigrants come back home with the wealth of experience garnered overseas.
