Abstract
This study investigated the impact of human capital loss on healthcare delivery, education quality, and industrial productivity within Owerri Municipality. Employing a quantitative research design, data were collected from a sample of 400 respondents and analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression techniques. The results revealed a strong and statistically significant relationship between human capital flight and each of the dependent variables. Specifically, the correlation coefficients indicated the strongest effect on healthcare service quality (r = 0.945, p = 0.000), followed by educational performance (r = 0.930, p = 0.000), and industrial productivity (r = 0.918, p = 0.000).
