Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Event planning is a multifaceted process that involves coordination, resource allocation, and stakeholder engagement to create successful events. In rural areas like Jalingo Local Government Area, Taraba State, event planning faces unique challenges, including limited infrastructure, inadequate funding, and logistical hurdles. Rural events often cater to socio-cultural, economic, or political needs, serving as vital platforms for community cohesion and development. However, factors such as poor road networks, lack of technological integration, and insufficient expertise among local organizers hinder the effective execution of these events. According to recent studies by Ahmed and Usman (2024), rural areas in Nigeria often encounter disparities in event planning due to resource scarcity and limited access to professional event management tools. This study delves into the specific challenges faced in Jalingo LGA and explores strategies to enhance event planning in rural contexts.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Event planning in rural areas often falls short of expectations due to various challenges, including logistical constraints, inadequate financial resources, and a lack of skilled personnel. In Jalingo LGA, these issues are compounded by infrastructural deficits and limited access to modern planning tools. Events are frequently marred by delays, low attendance, and unsatisfactory experiences, leading to reduced community participation and engagement. Despite the critical role of events in fostering community development, the persistent challenges in their planning and execution remain underexplored. This study seeks to identify these challenges, assess their impact on event outcomes, and propose actionable solutions for improvement.
