dc.description.abstractDevelopment research, policy and practice has of recent been human-centred both at global, continental and national levels. There has also been an increasing reliance on government as an institution of the state for accelerated human development especially in developing countries and Nigeria in particular. In spite of government efforts over the years, the desired objectives seem not to have been achieved in view of the increasing rate of child and maternal mortality, illiteracy and poverty. The objectives of this paper are to determine the quality of governance and the level of human development in Nigeria and also examine the relationship between them. Others are to identify the problems of governance and human development in Nigeria with a view to making suggestions towards improving them. The source of data was secondary. These were presented in tables and percentages using Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient in testing the hypothesis. The study revealed that the quality of governance was poor while the level of human development in Nigeria was low. It was recommended that the Nigerian government need to do more in creating an enabling environment such as safety and security, maintenance of law and order, provision of basic infrastructure and as well engage the citizens and communities to elicit their participation. There is also the need for public administration reform to enhance capacity in implementing human development policies and strategies efficiently, effectively, and equitably
