The Effect of Self-Help as a Productive Strategy for Sustainable Community Development in Nigeria
Journal Title: International Journal of Business and Management Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
It is a well-known fact that is widely acknowledged that most communities in Nigeria have been neglected especially rural communities thereby suffering dearth of high quality human resource and infrastructural developments unlike their urban counterparts. Thus, this paper advocates that the available glimpse of development in Nigerian communities today and in time to come should be sustained, using the platform of self help strategy. This paper is tailored to verify the efficacy of self help as a veritable instrument for sustainable community development in Nigeria. It traces the spirit behind self help initiation, the foundation upon which it is predicated on, its nexus with sustainable community development, the achievements and prospects in it as a platform to ensure sustainable community development in Nigeria. It advocates provisions of basic modern human needs, mass mobilization and participation to ensure sustainable community development via self help efforts of the people. Furthermore, bottom-top approach anchored on felt/real need, functional education, development oriented values, and skills acquisitions are projected to stir the collective consciousness of the community people towards embarking on the desired change and its maintenance (sustenance) via self help cohesion and solidarity. The paper concludes that self help is an indispensable resort for achieving sustainable community development in Nigeria.
