The Nigerian government has implemented the following policies to promote export-oriented education and human capital development ¹:

- *Education and health investment*: The government has been advised to sustain economic growth in Nigeria by increasing budgetary allocations to the education and health sectors to boost human capital skills needed to drive a knowledge-based economy.
- *Special agencies establishment*: The government has been advised to establish special agencies with the responsibility of improving the skills and capabilities of human capital across all educational levels of the federation so as to sustain growth in the long run.
- *Import substitution policies*: The Nigerian government has several import substitution policies which aim to increase local production through subsidies, tariffs, quotas, and other barriers to trade.
- *Local content laws*: Local content laws are in place across sectors of the Nigerian economy. Originally introduced to ensure local participation in labor and across the value chain of the oil and gas sector, local content requirements have gradually begun to spread to other sectors such as information and communications technology and advertising.
