SUSTAINABILITY: FEEDBACK There is a general aversion to an externally driven process of development in Nigeria. Individuals contacted did not rule out collaboration with international organisations, but focus should be on developing home grown initiatives for sustainable development. Best option to explore the influence of the international community in our national development is to communicate, cooperate and collaborate rather than outright dependency.
