Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Rural electrification is an essential aspect of local development, as access to electricity is a fundamental factor in improving living standards, promoting education, enhancing economic activities, and facilitating healthcare services. In Jibia South Local Government Area (LGA) of Katsina State, the local government has initiated various projects aimed at expanding electricity access to rural communities. However, these efforts have often been limited by financial constraints, technical challenges, and political factors that influence the decision-making process. The local government's leadership plays a crucial role in the success of electrification projects, as it involves mobilizing resources, coordinating with state and federal agencies, and ensuring that the projects align with the needs of rural communities (Mustapha & Usman, 2023). This study seeks to assess the effect of local government leadership on rural electrification in Jibia South LGA, examining the impact of leadership decisions on the accessibility, reliability, and affordability of electricity in rural areas.
