Dependency and Underdevelopment in Africa: The Nigerian Perspective

This book critically examines Dependency and Underdevelopment in Africa from the Nigerian perspective, alongside analyzing the Media Portrayal of the National Youth Service Corps. It highlights the intricate relationship between economic dependency, political integrity, military reliance, and their impact on underdevelopment in Nigeria. The study underscores Nigeria’s struggle with economic dependence on foreign aid, political backing, and military support, perpetuating neo-colonial conditions. The researchers offer practical recommendations for revitalizing the economy, enhancing political governance, and strengthening military strategies to address insecurity autonomously. This work provides valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders dedicated to advancing Nigeria’s socio-economic landscape and improving media portrayals of youth.
