BRIDGING COMMUNICATION GAP FOR SUSTAINABLE RURAL DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
One of the greatest challenges facing most developing nations today is the problem of rural underdevelopment. In Nigeria over 70% of the population lives in the rural areas, yet the rural sector has remained the most backward and neglected. This paper examines the sorry state of our rural areas, attempts to identify some of the factors that remain the bane of our rural development and suggests ways (that include the appropriate developmental and communication approaches) of engaging the rural population in order to make development sustainable. Otherwise the heavy burden of rural retardation will continue to drag our national development.
