Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Political leadership plays a crucial role in driving development at the grassroots level, particularly in local government areas where the majority of citizens reside. Zaria LGA, one of the prominent local governments in Kaduna State, is home to a large population with diverse needs. The political leadership within the local government is tasked with addressing the developmental challenges faced by this community, ranging from infrastructure to social services and economic empowerment. This study explores how political leadership in Zaria LGA influences grassroots development and assesses the effectiveness of local government policies and initiatives in promoting sustainable development (Usman & Nuhu, 2023).
