Abstract
Guidance and Counselling is usually designed to achieve certain ends for a particular society. It is therefore practised within a frame work of values and goals.
Guidance and Counselling cannot therefore successfully be practised in the Nigerian setting without a synthesis of the values and ultimate goals of its services.
The major problem tackled by the present study is what Guidance Counsellors' value commitments are in the Nigerian setting where Guidance and Counselling has been witnessing stalling development. An investigation such as this, of Guidance Counsellors' value commitments will help to ensure that the demands and needs of the Nigerian setting and the expectations of Guidance and Counselling consumers, are being satisfied. It will also help to direct the development of the Guidance and Counselling services successfully,
Views expressed by experts confirm that Guidance and Counselling practice and programmes should be based on some ultimate goals and objectives, and that these end goals should reflect the needs and demands of the social setting in which the Guidance services are given.
It was therefore reasonable to anticipate that commitment to some ultimate goals would be the highest preoccupation of Nigerian Counsellors.
In view of the problems of Guidance and Counselling development in Nigeria, it was also anticipated that the Guidance practitioners involved in the study would show inconsistencies in role adoption due to lack of clarity of objectives.
