Abstract: | The present study deals with the different forms of community development and mass education in Nigeria. The available data on Nigeria's mass education and community development are analysed by distinguishing five groups of projects and illustrating them with examples which show the kind of leadership indispensable for each one: I Close integration of both movements supported by voluntary labor. (the Udi, Ilajes, Abuje). Borderline type I-II. Partly integrated, without mass education but with voluntary labor; II Simultaneous but not integrated type instigated 'from above' (the Anchau); III Community development without mass education (Mokwa Scheme, Western Region Cocoa, Small seale community development); IV Mass education turning into adult education, centrally organized.
