1.1 Background of the Study
Event advertising is a critical tool for promoting activities that contribute to rural development. In Yola North Local Government Area (LGA), Adamawa State, events such as agricultural fairs, skill acquisition programs, and cultural festivals serve as platforms for knowledge exchange, economic empowerment, and community engagement. Advertising these events through traditional media, social media, and grassroots channels ensures that rural populations are informed and motivated to participate. According to Ahmed et al. (2023), effective event advertising increases attendance, enhances knowledge dissemination, and fosters economic activities, all of which are essential for rural development. However, the full potential of event advertising in driving rural development in Yola North LGA remains underexplored. This study investigates the impact of event advertising on rural development, focusing on its role in increasing awareness, participation, and community benefits.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential of event advertising to drive rural development, many events in Yola North LGA suffer from low visibility and poor attendance. Limited access to effective advertising channels, inadequate funding, and low literacy levels among rural populations hinder the dissemination of event information. Consequently, the benefits of these events, such as skill acquisition and economic empowerment, are not fully realized. This study addresses these issues by evaluating the impact of event advertising on rural development in Yola North LGA.
