ABSTRACT
This brief concluding chapter suggests that Nigeria offers a global audience a glimpse of what's possible when people work together towards a common goal. It highlights the miracle of social work's development, growth, and survival in a country with a dismal record of policy implementation, minimal public service provision, and even less support for social workers, an army of which is needed to tackle deepening poverty and social problems. It suggests that this book offers international readers insight into Nigeria's developmental issues and social problems and a local audience – social science and human service researchers, educators, practitioners, students, and policymakers ‒ a postcolonial understanding to inform future policy, service, and practice development.
