HISTORY OF SISTERS OF OUR LADY OF APOSTLES (OLA) IN NIGERIA: INITIATORS OF GUIDANCE AND COUNSELLING IN NIGERIA

Abstract

Guidance and Counselling has progressed significantly in Nigeria, originally serving as an organised formal aid for young individuals, particularly those in secondary school and beyond, as well as providing essential direction for anyone seeking wholesome assistance in navigating life’s challenges. In Nigeria, it has been noted that this important field was initiated by some Irish Sisters, and this work aims to highlight their contributions in establishing the foundation for guidance and counselling in Nigeria, as well as creating and fostering the development of productive personalities and citizens within the Nigerian society.
