Capacity Building Opportunities in Counselling and Guidance in Developing Nations: The Nigerian Example

Abstract

The paper explored capacity building opportunities which abound in guidance and counselling in developing nations, with specific reference to Nigeria. It provided a conceptual clarification of capacity building and analysed specific areas of the Nigerian life in which a greater capacity could be developed, and skills, knowledge, tools and equipment be improved and retained. It is expected that graduates of guidance and counselling would find, through this paper, areas where they could specialize in even as employers of labour.
