dc.description Meeting the challenge of attaining overall development has for a long time been the preoccupation of all nations of the world. Because of the multi-faceted and allencompassing nature of ‘development’, even the most advanced nations of the world today are battling with many ‘developmental’ challenges. Suffice it to agree with the notion that development is a process and not a destination. Increase in per capita/real income, enhanced sources and distributive mechanisms of wealth, and advancement in technological and administrative manpower are sine qua non, but not sufficient in the developmental process. Development also entails some environmental, cultural, social, psychological, and political requisites. Another crucial index of development is ‘balanced development of both urban and rural centers’ (Umeabu, 2008). No nation would achieve any meaningful success in the development process without deliberately and fairly paying attention to the developmental needs and prospects of its rural communities. A realization of this perhaps explains the increasing policy and research focus on rural development worldwide. Unfortunately, rural communities in most parts of the world are still mired in poverty, disease and other forms of backwardness.
