Abstract
This paper was based on a conceptual analysis geared towards examining the role of social entrepreneurship and the state in stimulating national development particularly in Nigeria. For a social entrepreneur, wealth is a tool for tackling social challenges hence; the success of a social entrepreneur is designated by the social impacts achieved. From this view perspective, a nation achieves national development when the adverse effects of social challenges are effectively tackled by sustaining an effective social system. Therefore to achieve national development in Nigeria as a Nation State, the machinery of the State is considered a foundation and catalyst that can help transform the investments in the economy into developmental. Therefore, social entrepreneurship may serve as a spring board for the achievement of national development in Nigeria owing to the fact that creating social impacts by changing systems that combat social challenges is the focal point of social entrepreneurship. It was therefore recommended that government programmes in Nigeria should be designed to create enabling environments to stimulate the emergence of highly enthused social entrepreneurs who will become creative and innovative in finding solutions to socio-economic problems facilitating the achievement of national development.
