ABSTARCT
This study was on human capital flight: stratification, globalization, and the challenges of tertiary education in Nigeria. Three objectives were raised which included: To investigate the effects of human capital flight on the economy of Nigeria, to examine the significant relationship between tertiary education in Nigeria and human capital flight, to identify ways of improving the Nigerian education system and to recommend solutions to human flight in the tertiary education of Nigeria. A total of 77 responses were received and validated from the enrolled participants where all respondents were drawn from ministry of education, Lagos state. Hypothesis was tested using Chi-Square statistical tool (SPSS).

REVIEWED OF RELATED LITERATURE
The concept of human capital and human capital flight
Human capital is described as the total stock of knowledge, skills, competencies and innovative capabilities possessed by a country (Robinson and Florence, 2016). Shuaibu and Oladayo (2016) consider this approach when they affirm in their study that human capital flight has its origin from the increasing pace in the division of human labor. Shuaibu and Oludayo (2016) also follow this trail when they defined human capital as knowledge, competency, attitude and behavior possessed by an individual and further explained that a fundamental source of productivity in the world is its human capital. Fundamentally, human capital is acquired partly through education (Shahbaz et al., 2019), and it is that intangible factor that brings human intelligence, skills, abilities and competencies in the production process and allows for the provision of goods and services (Amadi and Alolote, 2019). Therefore, human capital development concerns all kinds of labor, mentoring, practices, internship and investment, such as efficient medical facilities on managing the available human capital

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 INTRODUCTION
In this chapter, we described the research procedure for this study. A research methodology is a research process adopted or employed to systematically and scientifically present the results of a study to the research audience viz. a vis, the study beneficiaries.
3.2 RESEARCH DESIGN
Research designs are perceived to be an overall strategy adopted by the researcher whereby different components of the study are integrated in a logical manner to effectively address a research problem. In this study, the researcher employed the survey research design. This is due to the nature of the study whereby the opinion and views of people are sampled. According to Singleton & Straits, (2009), Survey research can use quantitative research strategies (e.g., using questionnaires with numerically rated items), qualitative research strategies (e.g., using open-ended questions), or both strategies (i.e., mixed methods). As it is often used to describe and explore human behaviour, surveys are therefore frequently used in social and psychological research.

DATA PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents the analysis of data derived through the questionnaire and key informant interview administered on the respondents in the study area. The analysis and interpretation were derived from the findings of the study. The data analysis depicts the simple frequency and percentage of the respondents as well as interpretation of the information gathered. A total of eighty (80) questionnaires were administered to respondents of which only seventy-seven (77) were returned and validated. This was due to irregular, incomplete and inappropriate responses to some questionnaire. For this study a total of 77 was validated for the analysis.
CHAPTER FIVE
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
5.1 Introduction
It is important to ascertain that the objective of this study was to ascertain human capital flight: stratification, globalization, and the challenges of tertiary education in Nigeria. In the preceding chapter, the relevant data collected for this study were presented, critically analyzed and appropriate interpretation given. In this chapter, certain recommendations made which in the opinion of the researcher will be of benefits in addressing human capital flight: stratification, globalization, and the challenges of tertiary education in Nigeria.
Summary
This study was on human capital flight: stratification, globalization, and the challenges of tertiary education in Nigeria.

Conclusion
In conclusion, “Human Capital Flight: Stratification, Globalization, and the Challenges of Tertiary Education in Nigeria” serves as a wake-up call to the critical issues faced by Nigeria’s tertiary education system. The study underscores the interconnectedness of brain drain, globalization, and educational challenges, emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive reforms. By addressing these issues head-on, Nigeria has the potential to reverse the trend of human capital flight, cultivate a vibrant intellectual community, and position itself for sustainable socio-economic progress.
