Abstract

Investigates the driving forces behind community engagement practices among Nigerian professors. This study delves into the motivations that propel Nigerian professors to engage with communities, examining the factors influencing their participation, commitment, and impact. Through a qualitative exploration, this research aims to uncover the underlying drivers shaping community engagement initiatives among Nigerian professors and their implications for higher education and societal development. By shedding light on these motivating factors, this study offers insights into how academic institutions and policymakers can cultivate and support community engagement efforts among faculty members, fostering meaningful collaborations and positive social change.
