Haider, Mcloughlin, and Scott (2011). Many African societies’ efforts to establish their cultures have been endangered by technology and civilisation. Despite this alarming and dire situation, communication is nevertheless believed to be a powerful force for spreading and transmitting culture, the center of human activity, and the advancement of society.

The study is descriptive, predicated upon secondary sources, and anchored on the cultural imperialism thesis. The results show that communication can promote cultural development in Nigeria.
