It attempts to understand the relationship between civic service and citizenship on the one hand, and it examines the question as to whether youth service promotes a sense of citizenship and patriotism on the other. In the relevant studies on service and sociology, the assumption that service is antecedent to, and impacts positively on citizenship, is taken for granted. However, conclusions from this study call for an urgent rethinking of this wisdom. 410 0$aMonograph series (Codesria) 606 $aNational service$zNigeria 606 $aYoung volunteers in community development$zNigeria 615 0$aNational service 615 0$aYoung volunteers in community development 700 $aObadare$b Ebenezer$01471136 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781164603321 996 $aStatism, youth and civic imagination$93683305 997 $aUNINA
