INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE
STUDY
Large-scale
manufacturing has been the main thrust of Nigeria’s development programme over
time. However 16 is being widely acknowledged that rural development
should be the centre piece for effective short and long run development of any
nation such as Niger. Both the federal and state governments on one hand
and general public on the other hand attest to the fact through their efforts
toward the development of the countryside of Nigeria.
In realization of this
and in pursuance of its attainment the federal government created the
directorate for Foods, Roads and Rural Infrastructure (FRRI) to work in
partnership with the rural communities toward the provision of Amenities such
as rural roads, water boreholes and production of more foods. As well several
states, which Ngwo is one of the an, have adopted rural developmental
programme which is charged with the responsibility of developing and
coordinating rural development activities in the state.
From the on-going,
therefore, it is clear that the governments and people of the country now
attach much importance to rural development. It is, therefore, the need
to achieve integrated rural development vis-a vis national development that
prompted this study with the objective of determining the role of the establishment
of small scale industries in the rural areas can play in this regard.
1.2
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Since independence,
Nigeria has had your national development plans, but unfortunately we are still
in search of a development strategy to launch us on the plan of developed
nations. Hitherto, the development plans have laid emphasis on large
manufacturing concerns.
It therefore, becomes
imperative that other strategies such as small-scale industries programmes be
given a tairs trial in over search for a “messiah strategy”. Thus the
study aims at addressing the problems of searching to the best development plan
by finding out and analyzing the benefits of small-scale industries with view
of determining their relevance in rural development and ultimately natural
development.
The study aims at doing
this by identifying the specific contributions of the establishment of small
scale industries can make especially in the rural development it will equally
identify the categories of business that qualify as small-scale business and
the types needed in the rural areas.
