ABSTRACT

In Nigeria about eighty percent of the citizens live in the rural communities and they depend mainly on subsistence agricultural activities and petty-trading. In other countries, only about twenty percent of the population live in urban centres. unfortunately, this higher percentage of the population dwell in the rural areas and languish in diseases and chronic ill-health due to poverty, ignorance and lack of other basic social amenities that would have improved their standard of living. In spite of the federal, state and even local government policy statements on assisting communities that embark on viable community projects, there has been a slow pace of community development in Ibaji. The researcher has been worried over the slow pace in both planning and execution of community development programmes in Ibaji. Also, a number of suggestions which would serve as a solution to the obstacles have been made.
