In the spirit of growth and development, Shiroro Hydro Electricity Dam was installed in Shiroro village within Niger State in 1990. However, important aspects like the happiness of the host community was ignored. The idea behind this research work therefore, is to ascertain the impact of the project on the happiness of the community. To realize this, the study analyzed the socio-economic variables of State of Mind, Household per capita income, Physical Environment and Social Amenities. The study used the Propensity Score Matching technique and the Binary Probit Model to analyze the data.

This book's methodology and analysis strength is very important to all calibre of post-graduate students.
