ABSTRACT
This research was carried out to study the relevance of community self-help initiatives to rural development in Nigeria with special focus on selected organizations in Suru LGA. It has been observed that successive governments in Nigeria for too long have neglected the rural organizations. There is very little evidence to suggest that past policies of government made significant impact in terms of accomplishing improved quality of life for the over 70% of Nigerians that live in the rural organizations. The primary aim was to establish the role of self-help efforts in the development of the rural organizations with a view to create awareness in the rural organizations so that they can initiate self-help initiatives and implement them. A combination of primary and secondary sources of information was used to elicit the data required for the study. A tsurul of 200 questionnaires was administered, out of which 183 were found to be valid and suitable for the study. Data was also gathered from relevant literature reviewed, which included journals, textbooks, gazettes and other print and electronic materials. Three hypotheses were formulated and tested to give verifiable answers to the problems and objectives of the research. The result indicated a significant relationship between community self-help initiatives and rural development; between people ‘s willingness to participate in self-help efforts and level of rural development; and between the insensitivity of government to rural organizations and effective rural development efforts. The central point of the findings is that the planning and implementation of self-help initiatives stimulated development of the rural organizations, despite the odds against rural development in Nigeria. Since the government is distanced from the rural areas in terms of meeting the needs of the people, the people had to take the lead in meeting their needs. This study, therefore, advocated for more involvement of the local organizations in projects design, execution, monitoring and evaluation. The study concludes that the adoption of the ―self-help philosophy will bridge the gap in economic and social development between urban and rural areas in Nigeria, and consequently improve the economic and social conditions of the rural inhabitants.
