The increasing trend of youth migration from Nigeria has raised concerns about the loss of talent and its impact on the nation’s economic and social development. This study was undertaken to examine robotic technology empowerment: mitigating youth migration for Nigerian prosperity. The objective of the study was to ascertain the impact of robotic technology training on Nigerian youth skills and employability. The media technological determinism and human capital theories underpinned this study. The preferred research methodology for this study is documentary research. This involves a systematic review of scholarly articles, books and research papers. By utilising documentary analysis, the study created a comprehensive and well-informed foundation for understanding the dynamics of youth migration, robotic technology empowerment, and their interplay in the context of Nigerian prosperity. In line with the above, the researchers embarked on a search of useful and relevant materials online with the help of Google Scholar. Results of the search returned 355 useful references to the study with a general outlook. The foregoing themes were arrived at after retrieved documents in journal articles and other related online articles relevant to the area of study were thoroughly sifted and synthesised into meaningful areas and sub-areas. Finding showed that robotic technology training equips Nigerian youth with skills that
