However,
in spite of this laudable gesture by the Federal Government and the
higher expectation and aspiration of people, there seen to have been no
impressive impact of Educational institution. Many students clue to
parental, peer groups, societal (environmental) influenced among other
reasons make devastating mistakes that hamper their happiness in life

very pertinent that most of the ill and vice in our society should be
check through our institutions of learning to achieve this effort should
be made to improve the situation through guidance and counseling

counseling programmes in secondary school in Nasarawa state.
According
to the information made available by Mallam A. in his book titled
“Guidance and counselling beginners guidance (page 11) (2000) the
practice of guidance and counselling is not new in the society right
from the creation and early time, the need for man to exist well in his
society and satisfy his wants have been there, man exist in ignorance
and when guided, he performs and achieves his optimum goals.
Also in
the traditional society our fore fathers practiced guidance and
counselling, they led their children through a vocation e.g Fishing,
caving, weaving and wood cutting.
But modem guidance and counselling
as practiced now in our school system originated for America in the Late
Eighteen ninety (1890s). It started with complicated environment force
couple with social force such as Family disorganization, mental / health
movement programme the increasing student population problem who
terribly, literogeneous terms of their learning readiness, professional
and psychological worries and many other problems that live of the
people.
Frank Parson of Boston viewed the above problem and saw the
need for starting a vocational guidance in 1908 whom today is regarded
as the Father of guidance. Frank Parson wrote a book on choosing a
career or a vocation in 1909.
In his book parson (1908) outlined the three phases in dealing with problems of vocational choice as follows;
1) Knowing the person: through understanding of the person through the data collected about him or her.
2)
Knowing the job: Understanding the work and the nature of the desired
job entry requirement, condition for advancement and other
remunerations.
3) Making a match between the person and job based on a reasoned consideration of the two factor above
Another
notable contributor to the movement was Jessie B. Danes who applied the
process of career in choice laid down by person to locate himself in
teaching profession. In addition he emphasized the development of
character in his book, moral and vocational guidance services in settle
Washington where she helped students to excel in the stiff competition
to find a place in life since then guidance and counselling as a
discipline has been adopted in many countries of the word including
Nigeria by Annay Reed established.
1.2.1 THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF GUIDANCE AND COUNSELLING IN NIGERIA
However,
the development of guidance and counselling in Nigeria according to
Mallam A. Yakubu (2000) is started at the close of 1959 when a group of
reverend Irish sisters at St. Theresa’s college, Oko-Ado, ion Ibadan saw
the need for vocational guidance of the final year school. Certificate
female student of their college. Then invited twenty (20) outsiders who
were Government officials from the ministries and some prominent men
from Ibadan community to advice them on placing of sixty (60) of their
girls leaving school that December, 1959. These men were not trained
counselors but they definitely know more about the emerging word of work
than the students and the religious sisters. This led to the
establishment of Ibadan career council in 1961. The same body became
Nigeria career council in 1967.
According to Akingboye (1907) and
Donga (1983) can be traced back to the effort of the publication in 1977
of the National policy on Education which under scoped the need for the
programme. It also outlined its significance toward the effective
implementation of the Nation’s now Education policy the 6-3-34 system.
