摘要:Until recently, the global concern is how to ensure speedy rural transformation and development. This shift is the concern of many researchers and even governments, most especially of the underdeveloped and developing countries are emphasising on the need for holistic engagements and stakeholder collaborations as measures for ensuring rapid and sustainable rural development. This led to the proliferations of many social enterprising, particularly, the Non-profit organizations operating juxtaposedly by the government in effort to ensure effective rural development in developing countries and Nigeria in particular. This paper investigates the role expected of social entrepreneurship as measures for enhancing rural transformation and sustainable development in Nigeria. It was concluded that, unless there are deliberate attempts by government to creating enabling environment for smooth and successful engagements and collaborations with the social entrepreneurs to meeting the rural needs; all efforts and governmental strides to ensuring speedy rural transformation and sustainable development will remain slow and unattained.
