It has been observed that successive governments in Nigeria for too long have neglected the rural communities. There is very little evidence to suggest that past policies of government made a significant impact in terms of accomplishing the improved quality of life for over 70% of Nigerians that live in rural communities. The primary aim was to establish the role of self-help efforts in the development of the rural communities with a view to creating awareness in the rural communities so that they can initiate self-help projects and implement them. A combination of primary and secondary sources of information was used to elicit the data required for the study. A total 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 projects and rural development between people‘s willingness to participate in self-help efforts and the level of rural development and between the insensitivity of government to rural communities and effective rural development efforts. The central point of the findings is that the planning and implementation of self-help projects stimulated the development of the rural communities, despite the odds against rural development in Nigeria....Preview Download Preview +Other Sociology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Knowledge and attitude of undergraduate students towards homosexuality and its implication on social adjustment (A study of Caritas university, Amorji-Nike, Emene, Enugu state) »Assessing factors responsible for community self-help projects and rural development – a study of selected communities in Ado-Odo/Ota local government area»Unemployment and involvement in crime in urban communities»A sociological snalysis of the media and crime control in Abuja Municipality FCT»Comparative study of socio-economic background of parents towards their children in relation to academic performance»The impact of social distancing and frequent handwashing in reducing the spread of coronavirus disease (covid-19) in Nigeria»Socio-cultural effect of herders attack on farmers productivity in Akure north Lga, Ondo state»Effects of malnutrition among children of lower socioeconomic status of age 0-5 years»The impact of child trafficking on women in Nigeria»Causes and impact of indiscipline among secondary school students»Youth unemployment and insecurity - case study of Rivers State»Radio Biafra and civil war of 1967-1970: lessons for the contemporary media industry in south-south region»Impact of orphanage home on the child’s personality development»Female gender discrimination in work place among civil service workers in Enugu state local government area of Enugu state»Social media effect on youth perception of police
