Rural communities in Nigeria are plagued by attendant underdevelopment characterized by abject poverty and lack or inadequate social amenities such as health facilities, good roads, portable water, schools, shelter etc. However, successive governments in Nigeria mapped-out several programmes in order to bring about rural development but to no avail owing fomarity to lack of involvement of the people concerned in such programmes.
