The study aimed at eliciting the roles of NGOs through major projects undertaken in Nigeria, and their impact. This study aims at eliciting the roles of governance in NGOs in Nigeria, and impact in value creation in communities. Combined instruments of questionnaire surveys, interview and secondary data are utilized.
