| Abstract | This study explores the determinants of well-being amongst rural households in Northern Nigeria, particularly, as it relates to accessibility to livelihood assets. Specifically, this study examined the correlation between access to human assets, financial assets, and well-being. Quantitative approach through a cross-sectional survey method was employed while the questionnaire was used, and the data for the study were collected from 350 rural households in Sokoto State using purposive sampling, and partial least squares (Smart-PLS 2.0) was used to evaluate the statistical significance and correlation between the predictors and criterion variables (Human Asset, Financial Asset, and Well-being). The results of the study revealed that accessibility to human assets and the financial asset has a positive effect on well-being. This study concludes that for well-being and prosperity to thrive in Northern Nigeria, rural households need to have access to human assets and financial assets to overcome poverty and vulnerability. Similarly, the study suggests further studies in another geographical context in Nigeria, the collection of data using a longitudinal survey and the examination of the effect of other livelihoods assets on well-being. Additionally, in terms of policy implication, the study suggests that concerned authorities in the Northern Nigeria in particular, and the Nigerian government, in general, should emulate the Malaysia strategy towards ensuring the well-being of the rural households through ensuring access to critical resources or assets that enhance well-being to support the sustainability of their livelihoods. |
