MANAGING RURAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH INDUSTRIALISATION

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In 1976 a uniform system of local government reforms of 1976 the primary motive is to take development direct from the center to the people at the same reforms (1976:1) describes local government as a tool for rural development. Some of these motive are the conscious attempt of the federal government to involve people in the management of their rural affairs through which the human and material resources of the rural dwellers can be effectively mobilized tapped and advanced into industrialization process.

Since Nigeria started existing as an nation development has been taking place especially in the urban areas.   For the fact that man often craves for what is good, it is often that people usually rush to urban areas where there are provision for the comfort and welfare of man by way of social amenities and the infrastructures provision.  This exodus of people is necessitated by the fact that rural areas are often neglected on terms of development but those who rush to develop (urban) areas seen to have forgotten that there’s every need to develop the rural area because they are the base, the beginning and also terminals destinations.

Odenigive (1979) postulated that the rural subsection of the economy is endowed with abundant nature resource unharmnessed for this be increased would require integrating rural people in the rural development exercises through the provisions of small scale industries of different types. He defines industrialization as an integrated process of developing industries that would extract manufacture or convert raw material into finished goods and services. Industries that means different thing to different people and circumstances. Pie   (1968) stated that industrialization embraces the means by which man controls or modifies his natural environment. It is that great growth enquire change. Industrialization is the major means of people adjusting to environment to satisfy their various need and desire.

Industrialization is of course an application of practical or, mechanical sciences to industry’s commerce, it is a technical know-how, scientific ideas and information, body of knowledge material good and services capable of being of being systematic and sequential in the generation, communicable and adoptable to application in a given adoptable to application in a given economic, political, social and cultural mile. Against this background, we conclude that industrialization embraces a body of organized knowledge, tools and machines used by man to manipulated his environment to satisfy his basic tool, it is not this platform that the subject matter managing rural development through industrialization was drawn.

In managing rural development, the basic role of management is to plan, organize, direct and control, it is our collective view that managers lead other than plan, manpower rather than direct pattern rather than organize and assess rather than control. The effectiveness of management arises from leadership effort towards the stimultaneous creation of a cooperative and learning organization to facilitate the implementation support rural and national development organization survival and effective utilization of resources for the benefit of mankind.
