About NJSWE

Nigerian Journal of Social Work Education is an international, fully referred journal, reporting on empirical and theoretical aspects of Social Work and related fields of study. It may be said that the significance of Social Work has never witnessed a growing awareness throughout the world as of now. The Journal which is sponsored by the Department of Social Work, University of Ibadan, Ibadan recognized the need for more international research and analysis, and the generation of relevant theory to identify policy needs and trends as well as priorities in the growing area of Social Work. While reporting current research in Social Work, the journal will endeavour to establish further development of research for Social work, more especially in the developing world.

The journal is a necessary reading for policy makers, researchers and practitioners in all the facets of Social work and Social Welfare. Members of the Editorial Board and Advisory Board are selected from several universities to address the need for wide representation and editorial expertise.
