Abstract

The paper examined the community development projects in the Nsit Ubium local government area of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria by tracing the trajectory from the pre-colonial era till date. The secondary method of data was used to obtain the relevant information needed for the study. The study revealed that the Nsit Ubium local government’s constituent has implemented many community development projects from the pre-colonial till date. Following this, the study concluded that while performing these development projects, the Nsit Ubium local government faced certain challenges, which were insufficient funds, delay in the approval of projects by the Akwa Ibom state government, and low levels of participation of the local people. In line with this, the study then recommended that there should be administrative and financial autonomy, increased share in the national treasury, participation of the Nsit Ubium’s traditional institutions in community development, and encouragement of the local people’s participation.
