Abstract

In the changing global scenario, the main aim of education is to help people develop themselves as global and local responsible citizens who will make conscientious efforts for building a humane world with peace and harmony. The focus of education should be the development of values of peace and harmony based on the human mindset: human rights, mutual respect, mutual trust, cooperation, respect for life, social justice, open-mindedness, and co-existence. Keeping this in mind, it is necessary to reorient and restructure the education programme to include education for peace and harmony. The essence of this work is to expose the Gandhian school of educational thought. This work argues that trusteeship is a unique socio-economic doctrine of Gandhi; however, it has not received the serious attention of social scientists. This study examines trusteeship from a holistic perspective, which is an approach favoured by Gandhi. It highlights the theoretical and practical aspects of trusteeship and examines its present-day relevance.

Abstract

This study presents a longitudinal historical analysis of the state creation exercises in Nigeria and their potential to stimulate socioeconomic development in the regions that benefit from such restructuring. Both the government and proponents of state creation in Nigeria view the process as a critical driver for advancing development in previously underdeveloped areas. The expectation is that state creation can promote balanced development, distributing socioeconomic amenities and opportunities more evenly across the new states, particularly benefiting the capital cities, urban towns, and eventually rural areas. However, evidence suggests that past state creation efforts have inadvertently fueled rural-urban migration, as development efforts have primarily focused on urban centers, leaving rural areas neglected and disadvantaged. This urban-centric development pattern has undermined the intended goal of fostering widespread socioeconomic growth. The prevailing belief that state creation serves as a catalyst for socioeconomic development has likely intensified the persistent and vigorous demands for new states across different regions of the country. This study critically examines these dynamics, exploring the implications of state creation on regional development and evaluating whether the anticipated benefits have been realized or if the process has merely perpetuated existing inequalities.
