ขABSTRACT
The transition from nationalism to nationism in post-colonial Africa is fraught with many
challenges, among which is the question of sustainable development. The political arrangement
during the colonial period is solely created for colonial convenience and not meant for selfpropulsion
orchestrated the problem of development in Africa talk less of sustainable
development. The success of governance in any organized political system is determined by the
quality and quantity of change brought about by such governance, which means that the
development of any organized political system is determined by the quality of leadership in
government. This paper therefore hypothesizes that good governance is a sine qua non of
development, and good governance can therefore be catalytic to sustainable development. The
paper also contends that bad government devoid of general acceptability jeopardizes their very
stride for sustainable development, ipso facto, is people-focused and the participation of the
citizens is indispensable for its success. In the main, where such willful participation perpetually
compromised because the government is bad, then the whole concept of sustainable development
in the realm of such social construct becomes a farce.อบคุณที่เป็นห่วง แต่ฉันยังทำใจไม่ได้ในตอนนี้ ฉันพยายามแล้วเพื่อน
