: This study examined the transformation programme initiated by President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration (2011 – 2015) and the new government goals set by the present administration of Mohammadu Buhari focusing on community development. It found that in most communities there is shortage of food and water as well as increased number of people with health problems. The study also identified the purpose of transformation such as to make for a society void of criminals to reduce the number of criminals, to promote orderliness in the society, to make for more permanent charges etc. The author is of the opinion that transformation has not been achieved at the local community level.
