This study is carried out on intellectual capital efficiency and the market value of Nigerian quoted companies. The specific objectives were to: determine the influence of human capital efficiency on market value of the listed Nigerian companies; examine the influence of structural capital efficiency on market value of the listed Nigerian companies; and evaluate the influence of capital employed efficiency on market of the listed Nigerian companies firms in Nigeria. The data were sourced from 2018 to 2022 annual audited accounts of the 117 companies quoted on the Nigerian Exchange Group. The regression technique was employed to analyse the data. The findings showed that capital employed efficiency positively influenced market value throughout the five years but the human capital efficiency and structural capital efficiency have mixed results. Human capital efficiency and structural capital efficiency were both positively and negatively influenced market value of the sampled Nigerian companies for the periods of observation. The study thus concluded that intellectual capital influenced the market value of the sampled Nigerian companies and provided the recommendation that the sampled companies should improve their investments on intellectual capital resources (such as staffs’ training, staff welfare) and physical assets.
