Chapter One: Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study
Rural-urban connectivity plays a critical role in fostering economic development, improving access to services, and bridging the urban-rural divide. Digital media has emerged as a transformative tool for enhancing this connectivity by enabling communication, information sharing, and resource exchange. Social media platforms, mobile apps, and digital forums connect rural dwellers with urban centers, facilitating trade, education, healthcare, and social interaction. In Bunkure Local Government Area, digital media presents opportunities to strengthen rural-urban ties, overcoming challenges such as geographic isolation and limited infrastructure. Research by Lawal and Amina (2023) reveals that digital platforms empower rural communities, promoting inclusion and economic development. This study investigates the role of digital media in fostering rural-urban connectivity in Bunkure, examining its benefits, challenges, and potential for socio-economic transformation.
