Abstract
The phenomenon of brain drain and migration presents both challenges and opportunities for sustainable development. This paper aims to assess the brain drain of human capital and its implication on sustainable development in Nigeria. The study is based on a multifaceted assessment of the phenomenon and its impact on the country's economic, educational, political, healthcare, and technological perspectives. The paper is anchored on interpretative meaning of "Push and Pull Factor Theory of Migration" by Everett Lee. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the complexities surrounding brain drain, the emigration of highly skilled individuals from one country to another, as well as policy recommendations to address the issue. The outcome of this study will enhance our better understanding and knowledge on the remote causes and solutions to brain drain in Nigeria towards achieving a vibrant and sustainable economy and also hitherto strategically position the nation's economy by discouraging Nigeria citizens from migrating to other countries. The study concludes that by combining domestic reforms with strategic diaspora engagement, Nigeria can transform brain drain into a resource for sustainability.
