Abstract

National development: is about all aspects of the life of an individual and the nation. It is a process of reconstruction and development in varies dimensions of a nation and development of individuals. There is need for national integration. a process by which members and groups in a Nigeria adapt to the demands of national existence. Civic education refers to both formal and informal learning given to the citizens to develop in them the knowledge, values, and skills needed for effective participation in political process and the civic society. Civic is the study of the rights and duties of citizenship. When you are a citizen, you are considered part of the nation and have an active role in determining what that nation does. Nigeria has not achieved the level of understanding and acceptance of the rights and responsibilities among the totality of its citizens that is required for the maintenance and improvement of our constitutional democracy. Inattention to civic education stems in part from the false assumption that the knowledge and skills citizens need emerge as by-products of the study of other disciplines or as an outcome of the process of schooling itself. The general objective is to examine whether citizens are actively involved in their own governance.
