The key concept here is neo-welfarism.
This concept is not merely abstract, but has a place in the practical
human society. Neo-welfarism has much relevance in the socio- political
and economic life of man. By this fact, effort will be made to
practically apply the principles of neo-welfarism for the growth and
development of our Nigerian society.
With the above background
therefore, the work is divided into five chapters. Chapter one is
introduction. Chapter two is the literature review where the independent
struggles in Africa together with the three major socio-economic
systems of capitalism; socialism and welfarism will be discussed,
exposing their strong and weak points. This launches us into chapter
three which out lines the intellectual and cultural foundations that
made Zik opt for neo-wlfarism, since no one speaks from nowhere. Chapter
four will see us vividly describing the socio-economic system of
neo-welfarism as a veritable Nigerian ideology, giving the reasons for
this postulation. While chapter five, is the critical evaluation and
conclusion.
