Abstract

The attainment of development encompasses citizens’ enlightenment in a democratic setting where mutual
responsibility involves active participation of the citizens and government. The glaring apathy of citizens’
involvement in development issues in their local government and communities has been traced to lack of
capacity, skill, and pre-requisite knowledge for involvement. The purpose of this study was to examine the
effect of citizen’s enlightenment on community participation in development in selected local government
in Anambra State. The study adopted the cross-sectional survey research design. The population of the
study comprised of 1779 members of registered community associations who live within the different
communities in the selected local government areas of Anambra States. The study adopted a simple random
sampling technique to determine the sample size of 249. The questionnaire relating to citizen enlightenment
and community participation was validated before use to collect data. Descriptive statistics (frequency and
percentage) was employed for demographic data analysis, while regression analysis was used to analyse
the effect. The results (?= 0.301, t = 4.533, p<0> significant effect on community participation in development in Anambra State. Consequently, citizen
