Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the relevance of self-help projects in rural development in Nigeria, with a focus on some communities in the Ado-odo/Ota LGA. It has been observed that successive governments in Nigeria have neglected rural communities for too long. There is very little evidence that previous government policies have had a significant impact on improving the quality of life of over 70% of Nigerians living in rural communities. The main objective was to define the role of self-help efforts in the development of rural communities to sensitize rural communities to initiate and implement self-help projects. A combination of primary and secondary information sources was used to identify the data required for the study. A total of 200 questionnaires were completed, of which 183 were considered valid and suitable for the study. Data was also collected in the relevant revised literature, including magazines, manuals, newspaper sheets and other printed and electronic materials. Three hypotheses were formulated and tested to provide verifiable answers to the problems and objectives of the survey. The result showed a significant correlation between community self-help projects and rural development. between the willingness of people to participate in self-help measures and the state of rural development; and between the government's insistence on rural communities and effective rural development efforts. The key finding is that planning and implementing self-help projects has stimulated the development of rural communities despite opposition to rural development in Nigeria. While the government was distancing itself from rural areas to meet the needs of the population, it had to take the initiative to meet their needs. As a result, this study called for greater involvement of local communities in project planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. The study concludes that the introduction of the self-help philosophy will bridge the gap in economic and social development between urban and rural areas of Nigeria, thereby improving the economic and social conditions of the rural population.
