For centuries humans have relied on various forms of mechanism to disseminate and receive information. Over the years, communication has evolved to what it is today. Communication play an imperative role as a process of social interaction.

The power of human communication has been evident through efforts and developmental communication, particularly in developing states.

Advances in technology, education and incomes hold ever-greater promise for longer, healthier, more secure lives”. This success can thus be attributed to development communication and social change. The UNICEF further adds that “communication for development is seen as a two-way process for sharing ideas and knowledge using a range of communication tools approaches that empower individuals and communities to take action to improve their lives.
