      abstract = {This paper examines the roles of faith-based organizations (FBOs) in sustainable governance. It clarifies four concepts namely colonialism, faith-based organizations (FBOs), sustainable governance, and Yoruba nation. With the use of historical and descriptive research designs, the paper appraises the pre-colonial traditional governance in Yoruba land of Nigeria with a view to demonstrate how its political systems, its institutions and core values can bring about good and sustainable governance. The contributions of foreign faith-based organizations (FBOs) to the promotion of sustainable government are also highlighted. By way of conclusion, the paper recommends that Yoruba people in Nigeria should step up efforts to preserve their traditional heritage, culture and traditions so as to prevent them from being going into extinction; and that all faith-based organizations (FBOs) should armed themselves with traditional value of omoluabi(noble character) as a tool for achieving and promoting sustainable governance in Yorubaland in particular and in Nigeria as a whole.},
