Abstract:

This study investigates the complex interactions between university education, youth development, and poverty in Nigeria. The findings of this study reveal that there is a positive correlation between government spending on university education and youth unemployment, indicating that the university education is experiencing challenges beyond funding. Similarly, the study finds that economic growth reduces poverty, although university education plays an insignificant positive role in influencing poverty and economic growth in the short run. There are several challenges impeding the effectiveness of the university education to alleviating poverty in Nigeria, and this study explores them through the theoretical and practical parts. The study, therefore, provides a foundation for future research and policymaking towards reforming the university education system and developing youth to drive economic growth and poverty reduction.
