Background of the Study
Resource sharing through joint regional programs has become a critical strategy for fostering cooperation, enhancing economic development, and addressing shared challenges in neighboring regions. In the context of Nigeria, many local governments, particularly those in resource-dependent areas, face challenges such as limited access to essential services, underdeveloped infrastructure, and the need for sustainable resource management. Joint regional programs, often facilitated by state and federal governments, aim to pool resources and expertise across neighboring regions to promote equitable development and improve public service delivery (Lawal & Tijani, 2023).
Kontagora Local Government Area, located in Niger State, is a predominantly rural area with rich natural resources, including agricultural land, forests, and water bodies. The region has been involved in various joint regional programs aimed at improving resource management, economic development, and environmental sustainability. However, despite these efforts, the effectiveness of these programs in promoting resource sharing and addressing regional disparities remains unclear. This study seeks to assess the impact of joint regional programs on resource sharing in Kontagora, focusing on their role in sustainable resource management and the improvement of local infrastructure.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the implementation of joint regional programs, Kontagora continues to experience challenges related to resource mismanagement, inequality in resource distribution, and underdeveloped infrastructure. While these programs have facilitated cooperation among neighboring regions, their impact on sustainable development and equitable resource distribution has not been fully evaluated. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of joint regional programs in promoting resource sharing, identify key challenges faced by the local government, and propose recommendations for improving the success of such initiatives.
