Rural Transformation as Catalyst to Community Development in Nigeria: Wukari Local Government in Perspective; 2019-2023

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how rural transformation served as catalyst to development in Wukari Local Government of Nigeria from 2019 to 2023. To accomplish this noble objective, research questions were used to carry out the investigation through the use of primary and secondary sources of data. The researcher used simple percentage as presented in the table with descriptive analysis as a method of data analysis. From the study, it was clearly understood that inadequate financial support from both the state and federal governments served as hindrance to effective implementation of government policies towards rural transformation in Wukari Local Government. It is therefore recommended that financial support be increased to a reasonable percentage to enable local governments embark upon rural transformation in the state and Wukari Local Government in particular. Also, revenue allocation from the federation account should come directly to the Local Governments account for effective transformation.
