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.
