Thesis Abstract
The choice of a study of this nature is premised on the fact that official statement from government circles, especially the federal and state governments indicate that two basic objectives informed the creation and subsequent, reforms of local governments in Nigeria since its inception. The first was to bring government closer to the grassroots people in a federal arrangement so as to encourage local participation in the management of the local affairs of the people and themselves. This would go a long way to bridging the gap of communication between the government and rural people’s of Nigeria. The second is to encourage and accelerate rural development. This would help to curb the menace of rural-urban migration, encourage local initiatives through development of local skills towards national economic growth, and by extension reduce the rate of unemployment in Nigeria. Nsukka Local Government Area is one of the earliest provinces in Eastern Region that metamorphosed to the modem local government since the 1976 local government reforms. The researcher is awakened by the quest to know and establish whether Nsukka Local Government has lived up to its expectations with special interest on rural development which no less falls within its responsibilities. To achieve this target, we divided this research report into five chapters. First chapter includes the research fundamentals/strategies. The second chapter focuses on the historical background of Nsukka Local Government Area. The third chapter examines the achievements of Nsukka Local Government and failures in a comparative framework. The fourth chapter is the analysis of findings while the fifth chapter is the summary of findings, conclusion and recommendation.
