Abstract This study investigated the challenges which Manpower Training and National Development pose for higher education in Nigeria. The rationale for the study is the very embarrassing unemployment climate vi-a-vis the ever increasing out '"put of high level manpower resource from higher educational institutions in Nigeria. Data for the study was generated through a structured questionnaire which was administered to a sample of graduate population in the South-South geopolitical zone of Nigeria. Results indicated that higher education has fallen drastically below international standards, with the result that it is unable to make appreciable contribution to sciences and technology and to the development of qualitative human resource which are the basic ingredients of National Development.
