Abstract:
Community development is a sine qua non for the promotion of economic growth, improvement in the general living standards, promote educational advancement, enhancement of infrastructural development, conservation of the environment and ensuring good community base leadership. This study examined Bomu development trajectory: Bomu yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. Vivid expository analysis of Bomu community development in the past is elucidated and compared with the present as a basis for future development of the community. The paper identifies prevalence of environmental pollution and degradation and gas flaring as major hindrance of the community?s major source of livelihood (fishing and farming). Also, the advent of Kpor-fire, illegal bunkering and cases of communal crisis have had a devastating impact on the environment, education, health and overall socio-economic development of Bomu. However, to put Bomu on the path of development trajectory, a pragmatic and transformational leadership approach to governance is key for the development of the community tomorrow. The Bomu Governing Council and Community Development Committee (CDC) should consider setting up a Bomu Community Socio-Economic Development Master Plan through an inclusive community-led participatory approach that will foster sustainable development and place Bomu community on a development trajectory that can be measured and monitored.
