However, Nigeria’s development cannot be built solely on remittances. At their core, remittances are a private, household-level economic lifeline. They pay for school fees, food, rent, and emergency medical care — but they don’t necessarily build hospitals, upgrade curricula, or create high-paying jobs on a large scale. What the country has needed, and what BRIDGE attempts to deliver, is a structured mechanism for converting financial capital into human, intellectual, and social capital.
