A descriptive research design was adopted for the study was descriptive survey. A purposive sampling technique was employed to select a total of fifty-two (52) school counsellors in Ondo West Local Government Area. The research instrument used was a structured questionnaire titled “roles of school counsellors in addressing factors responsible for political reconstruction†with reliability co-efficient of 0.84 and well established validity. Two research questions were raised and six research hypotheses were tested at 0.05 alpha level of significance. The data was analysed using frequency count and percentage, mean, t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The findings revealed that factors responsible for political reconstruction in Nigeria involve bad governance, corruption, election rigging etc. The school counsellors’ roles in addressing factors responsible for political reconstruction in Nigeria include organizing seminars/workshops on how to tackle contemporary issues, inculcating conflict resolution skills, encouraging the youth to indulge in politics with the motives of making positive impact, rehabilitating the restive youth, reinforcing socially-acceptable behaviours among in-school adolescents etc. The study also revealed that there was no significant difference in the roles of school counsellors in addressing factors responsible for political reconstruction based on respondents’ gender, age and qualification. The study concluded that factors responsible for political reconstruction are prevalent in Nigeria. It is therefore, recommended that the school counsellors should organize seminars and workshops on how to checkmate factors responsible for political reconstruction in Nigeria.
