Abstract

This study investigates the mechanisms of living things in human development, with a focus on Edo North in Edo State, Nigeria. Using a sample size of 100 respondents, the research explores factors influencing human development, including socio-economic conditions, education, health, and governance. Data analysis was conducted using the simple percentage method, providing clear insights into the prevalence and impact of these factors on Edo North’s development. The findings reveal that economic hardship, religious irregularities, inadequate healthcare, and educational disparities significantly impair the quality of life in Edo North. Additionally, the study emphasizes the critical role of community engagement and effective governance in fostering sustainable human development. The results highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions to address these challenges and enhance overall living conditions across Edo State.
