dc.description.abstractYouths’ possession of a minimum civic skill can increase their mindset for the common good in society. This study examined the categories of civic skills being developed among undergraduates in a University in Nigeria. A descriptive research design is being adopted for this study. A university in North-central Nigeria was used for this study. All undergraduate Social Studies students in the selected University were the population of the study. A sample of 326 undergraduate Social Studies was selected using purposive sampling and simple random sampling techniques. The study data were collected using Researchers’-constructed Civic Skills Scale (CSS). The content validity of the Instruments by the Social Studies and test and measurement experts shows that the functionality of items of CSS was ascertained using Cronbach Alpha with the reliability value of 0.84. The data were analysed using rank order and independent t test. The results show that the undergraduate mean scores on civic skills (96.7); (80.2%) descriptive analysis indicated that undergraduate possessed high level of civic skills. There is no statistically significant difference between the ranking of civic skills of undergraduates based on programme and status of studies. It was recommended among others that, there is a need to pay more attention to developing civic skills in undergraduates in a practical way
