Background of the Study
Infrastructure development is an essential component of economic growth and community well-being, particularly in rural areas. In Gwagwalada Local Government Area (LGA), situated in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, the impact of local government policies on infrastructure development remains an area of significant interest. Over the years, rural communities in Gwagwalada have faced challenges related to inadequate infrastructure, such as poor road networks, limited access to electricity, and inadequate healthcare and educational facilities. Local government policies play a crucial role in addressing these challenges by facilitating development in these areas through various initiatives aimed at improving living standards and promoting economic growth. These policies may include budgetary allocations for infrastructural projects, partnerships with development agencies, and community-driven development programs. The success of these policies, however, depends on their alignment with local needs, available resources, and effective implementation. This study seeks to evaluate the impact of local government policies on infrastructure development in rural communities within Gwagwalada, with a focus on how such policies have improved or hindered the provision of essential infrastructure.
1.2 Statement of the Problem

While various policies have been put in place, there is limited research on how effectively these policies are being implemented or whether they are reaching the communities in need. This study aims to investigate the role of local government policies in improving infrastructure in rural Gwagwalada, examining the effectiveness of such policies and the extent to which they contribute to sustainable development.
