    Institutions and the Challenges of Development in Africa
    (Department of Sociology College of Business and Social Sciences Covenant University Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria, 2019) Onwuma, Anthony C.; George, Tayo O.
    Africa's development and how it could be engendered has been the subject of scholarly interrogation for many decades. This finds expression in the many development policies fonnulated by African policy makers and political leaders to bail the continent out of the quagmire of underdevelopment. Painfolly, all the achieved results and success stories were disappointingly modest. This paper examines some key institutions such as Economic, Education and the political institutions. It concludes that weak institutions and the failure to fonnulate Afrocentric policies are the bane of development in the continent. Thus, the strengthening and repositioning of institutions in Africa will go a long way in ushering development in Africa.
