Achieving the recommendations of TfD action plans for community-based solutions to rural community problems require follow-up, monitoring, and evaluation which are "nearly absent" or ineffective in University-based TfD projects in Nigeria (Akoh 2019). Our observation during a 2022 Ofabo TfD project is that if songs used in such TfD performances are simple; quickly assuming popularity, they would retain a consciousness of the themes in an applied theatre performance, thereby, institutionalizing drama performance in a community as an instrument of attitudinal change, constituting continuous sensitization on social behaviour, and prompting community stakeholders to stay on course toward implementing the recommendations.
