Random sampling metthod was adopted and qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection were used. From findings after analysizing the personal data of respondents, it was discovered after the program helped to uplift the living condition of the beneficiaries in the study area individually, however, the trickle down effect of the policy has not been felt as a whole in the Local Government . The area still lack the required basic infrastructure that would make life more meaningful for the inhabitants and the Local Government. Conclusively, the third National Development project has progressive impact which needs to be consolidated in the sub sequent years ahead. Government needs to place rural development at the top of their agenda of the National development in realization of the fact that enhances rural development as a prerequisite for meaningful and sustainable overall National development policies and programs. Government also needs to deemphasize total focus on the oil sector to enhance agricultural development through addressing the needs of rural farmers with functional incentives.
