Abstract
The main objective of this study is to find out the association between demographic characteristics of Social Work Students of University of Benin and the awareness of Ubuntu Philosophy? This study focused on the total full time undergraduate and postgraduate students in University of Benin in the 2019/2020 Session. The population for this study is 46,986 and the sample size is 400. Data for this study was collected by personally administering the questionnaires to the respondents with the help of a research assistant and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). This study concludes that most of the respondents are aware of Ubuntu Philosophy, but the level of awareness varies by demographic characteristics. Although the respondents are aware of the Ubuntu Philosophy, they do not consider that Ubuntu is what Nigeria needs. This is the major findings of this study. This study recommends that the government and Non-Governmental Organizations should promote awareness programmes on the awareness of the relevance of Ubuntu Philosophy to the contemporary challenges in Nigeria. This would inspire young people to spread knowledge about Ubuntu with their schools, homes and communities and help restore the Spirit of Ubuntu among them. Furthermore, the influence of Ubuntu could help address contemporary social issues like drunkenness and sexual assault, among others, for the benefit of community members and throughout Nigeria.
