Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Rural-urban migration has become a significant demographic trend in many developing countries, including Nigeria. In Kabo LGA, Kano State, there has been an observable increase in the movement of individuals from rural areas to urban centers in search of better economic opportunities, improved infrastructure, and enhanced living standards. Advertising has been identified as a tool that can influence migration patterns by promoting the benefits of urban living and economic opportunities in the city. According to research by Usman et al. (2024), advertisements that highlight urban development, employment prospects, and improved social services have a powerful impact on rural populations, encouraging them to migrate to urban areas. This study seeks to explore the effectiveness of advertising in encouraging rural-urban migration in Kabo LGA, examining how advertisements influence individuals’ perceptions of urban life and their decisions to migrate.
