Background of the Study
Muhammadu Buhari’s administration launched the "Next Level Agenda" in 2019, focusing on driving socio-economic development across Nigeria. This agenda prioritized key areas such as infrastructure development, poverty alleviation, agricultural transformation, job creation, and the empowerment of rural communities. As part of the broader vision for Nigeria’s development, the Next Level Agenda aimed to address the long-standing infrastructural deficits and economic challenges faced by rural communities.
Kankara, a rural area in Katsina State, represents a significant part of Buhari’s target demographic for rural development. The region has faced challenges such as poor infrastructure, limited access to healthcare and education, high poverty rates, and unemployment. Through the Next Level Agenda, Buhari's government sought to enhance rural development by improving infrastructure, promoting agricultural development, and creating jobs in local communities. However, the full extent to which these interventions have impacted Kankara is not well documented.
This study will explore the effect of the Next Level Agenda on rural development in Kankara, Katsina State, focusing on infrastructure, agricultural initiatives, and poverty reduction efforts.
