ABSTRACT

The rural sector in Nigeria has not witnessed significant level of development in past 55 years of the Nation’s independence. This is evidenced in the apparent lack of basic infrastructures facilities and abysmal poor quality of life on the rural areas. This is so in spite of the contribution of the rural areas to the  overall national development. This research work thus, examines how the process off industrialization in rural areas could foster the development in Nigeria hunter land. It pays particular attention to rural communities in Idemili North Local Government of Anambra state. In gathering the data for the study, we rolled on primary and secondary source of information. And adapted descriptive method of research in our analysis.  The study submits or observes the existence of insufficient emphasis on rural development policies by successive government. Coupled with laxity in implementing few  of such policies. It thus, submits that enhance/aided localization of cottage industries could engender economic growth and development in rural areas.

 

CHAPTER ONE

1.0                                                 Introduction

1.1     Background of the Study

Most development nations define industrialization as a central objectives of their economic policy as an integral part of growth and structural changes. Some economic and analyst are of the view that industrialization plays a major in the economic growth and development of any nations.

In this work, effort is made to assess that impact of industrialization in  economic growth of Nigeria since 55 years of nations independence. There were numerous economic activities undertaken by Nigeria. Nigeria were among the most active and industrious group of people in Africa. The economic activities were based mostly in primary production especially on agriculture, fishing, and rearing of animal.

The rural sector of Nigeria is very vital in socio-economic development equation of the nation. It is as observed by Nyagba (2009) that the most important sector of the Nigerian population is the rural area.  for instance, the rural sector is the major source of capital formation for the country and a principle market for domestic manufacture (Olatunbosun, 1975). As a matter of fact, the rural  area engage in primary economic activities that form the foundation of the country’s economic development. Given the contribution of the rural sector of the national economy, enhancing the development of the sector should be central to government.

This is necessary as such would further enhance the liability of the sector for increased contribution to the overall natural growth and development.

Indeed, observed the rural areas in Nigeria are characterized by inadequacies of human needs as referred in the near absence of some basic infrastructure with it attendant feature of degradation and deprivation.

Provision of basic amenities to most hither lands and rural areas in Nigeria has been without adequate attention for government, road density, electricity, pipe borne water, cottage industries, medi-care delivery etc. in short supply across borders. Successive goods, have provided next to nothing in that regard and the people have continued to live in using structure localization of industries into engender organization and rural developing in Nigeria.

1.3     Research Questions

  1. What is the relationship between industrialization and rural development?
  2. What is the impediment of the realization of the meaningful development in Idemili
  3. What is the contribution of industrialization development in Idemili.
  4. Is there policy recommendation?

1.7     Limitation of the Study

Hardly will a research be conducted without a constraint in a country such as our where a hierocracy cut as constrain in the flow of information and where there is inaccurate data and statistics. There really have to be a problem in where included.

Financial Contracts: This rising cost of living has complicated the cost of embarking on a thorough research work, it is therefore to costly to embark on a thorough research work.

Lack of Research Skill and Problem of Secrecy: Most information meant for public consumption is some time tagged secret, thereby, retraining our ability to have all the necessary information or data needed to be subject matter.

1.8     Definition of Terms

  • Development: According to (Seer 1972), defined development as a process of involving the fulfillment of the necessary condition for the realization of the human personality, some of the necessary condition includes, education and skill included human capital development and accessible health and system.
