Abstract The role of the family as the first agent of primary socialization is widely recognized. As the principal socializing agency of the child, the family is very important because the child comes into the world through the family. In the family or the home the child is taught the first things he/she needs to know. The paper explores the definition of family, leadership, types of leadership, importance of leadership, nation building and contributions of family leadership to nation building. Family leadership according to Odedele and Egotanwa (2010) consists of various families based on the family setting, age and kinship. No group can exist effectively without a leader. The welfare of the nation rest on individual families. Family is the bedrock of the society and can be proven by the fact that all over the world every society is structured by the same pattern. It is indeed true that our family is the basic unit of the society and it is considered as the frontline security of our nation. The rise and fall of the nation depends on the rise and fall of the family. If the family is weak, so is the nation. The family is one of the basic moulders of a nation's culture and value. The family leaders should be a model of exemplary character for the children. They should set good example and help the children to emulate them. They should set and maintain a good value system and standard of living for the family. Building a strong family will require effective family policy. The fundamental role of the family is to ensure continuation through procreation socialization etc. If the family can succeed in its responsibility of building its members, transfer good moral behaviours, then nation building would succeed. The woes in the society today among other factors, are a function of the lapses in the contribution of the family towards building a formidable society. This is because the society is a collection of individual families. The family is the platform where the mindset is first moulded which will end up manifesting not just in the family but in the society as well.

Abstract Insurgents' activities and government's counter-insurgency operations have killed many people and rendered physically unusable many human habitations and sources of livelihoods across Nigeria. In addition, the increasing condition of insurgency and militancy have overpowered the internal security capacity of the police and has resulted in increase in the involvement of the military in internal security operations. Several Joint Military Task Forces (JTFs) have been set up to carry out counter- insurgency and militancy operation across Nigeria over the years. The activities of the insurgents and counter-insurgency operations of the several Joint Task Forces have claimed hundreds of lives of Nigerians including innocent civilians leading to the destruction of communities. The paper examines government's counter- insurgency human rights implications initiatives in the country and concludes that the activities of the JTFs have really prolonged the large number of violence against the civilian populations which they are supposed to protect. The paper proposes that the desirability of a counter-insurgency and militancy tactics should be ascertained by its ability to protect civilians as well as innocent citizens from human rights abuses and violent attacks.

Abstract Social Studies is a social science that is geared towards developing the individual for nation building, national unity and integration. Research entails investigation and it is aimed at improvement and development for the benefit of humanity. Research is the most important tool for advancing knowledge and relevant skills. There are few things, if any at all, that man has complete knowledge about in his environment. Even the knowledge already gained continues to show new dimensions or ramifications. The quest for expansion of knowledge and the intrinsic desire of man to improve himself has led him into research for more knowledge within and outside their domain. Without advances in research, development and growth will be at a standstill. Research is critical to the future and development of any nation. Hence, this paper is aimed at investigating the challenges of research in Social Studies and advancing workable strategies of strengthen it. The authors express optimism that quality research in Social Studies will influence human capital development that will in turn bring about improved output and productivity for national development. To achieve these objectives, this study adopted the method of content analysis of relevant existing literature and materials to draw up conclusion based on the researchers' interest. Among others, the paper suggested that there is need for the removal of unnecessary administrative bottlenecks in accessing research funds (especially the TETFUND) and the government should establish and fund research training center with equipped libraries and internet services, to ensure quality research efforts among researchers.

This paper will help you to find out more about the importance of instructional resources and why teachers should regard them as essential tools for their profession. In addition, this paper will also help to gain a better understanding of what instructional resources are and how social studies students can enjoy their classroom activities through those resources.

Abstract The role of education as an agent or instrument of social change is widely recognized today. Social change is common to all societies. It is permanent, in that, it is always happening, and yet it can happen so slowly that it is rarely ever noticed. At the same time, a few social movements and socio-political revolutions have been forceful enough to draw immediate global attention. This paper explores the definition of social change, the characteristics, processes, causes, consequences and its implications on Nigerian society. Social change may take place when human needs change, when the existing social system or social institutions fail to meet the existing human needs and when new materials suggest better ways of meeting human needs. Education can initiate social change by bringing about a change in outlook and attitude of man. This explains why contemporary world attention has focused on education as an instrument of social change on a particular society. It plays the role launching nations into the world of science and technology and with consequential hope of human advancement in terms living conditions and development of the environment. Social change takes place as a response to many types of changes that take place in the social and non social environment

Abstract The paper discussed some of the needed paradigm shift for repositioning educational curriculum for sustainable development in Nigeria. It went further to analyze the views of various scholars about repositioning of educational curriculum for sustainable development which is globally acknowledged. This is because no nation can grow adequately without appropriate curriculum that will reflect the changes in the society. This paper examines the concept of education, curriculum as the bridge between education and development; the importance and factors that bring about the repositioning of educational curriculum. The paper recommends that curriculum should not be static, but dynamic to meet the changing needs of the society. The curriculum should be repositioned and structured in such a way that the learners will acquire relevant skills which enable them to develop themselves, the society and also contribute to sustainable development of the country. There is need for adequate funding of teacher education for the purpose of implementing the curriculum knowing fully well that national transformation depends on qualitative teacher education.
