Abstract

This study is a non-empirical review of "Traditional Institutions, Multinational Corporations and Community Development in Bonny Local Government Area (1996-2018)". It was emphasised that several studies have affirmed the resiliency, legitimacy and relevance of traditional institutions in the socio-cultural, economic and political lives of Africans, particularly in the rural areas. Hence, the primary aim of this study was to find out if the traditional institutions in Bonny have been able to adapt and adjust to its changed environment. The study critically looked at the historical and descriptive research of other scholars relevant to the study. Thus, the study was non-empirical in nature. Findings from the study revealed that traditional institutions in Bonny Local Government Area have ensured sustained community development through changes in the environment as the vacuum created by the absence of government projects led to their collaboration with multinational corporations in the State for the benefit of their people. The study therefore recommends that Government and companies should appreciate and empower the traditional institutions for the good work that they are doing in Bonny Local Government Area in particular and that the government should amend the constitution to have a specific legal role for traditional institutions in community development.
