Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Economic development in rural areas of Nigeria remains a significant challenge despite constitutional provisions for economic rights and the promotion of social welfare. Zango-Kataf LGA in Kaduna State is one such region where economic development has been hindered by factors such as poor infrastructure, limited access to credit, and inadequate governmental support (Ibrahim & Mohammed, 2023). The Nigerian Constitution guarantees the right to economic development and the creation of a conducive environment for business, but rural areas often remain marginalized. This study aims to explore how constitutional law impacts economic development in Zango-Kataf LGA and assess the challenges faced in achieving rural economic progress.
