Abstract
In this research work titled “the impact of industrialization on
rural development” the researcher Identified small scale industries in Awgu and
evaluate efforts made towards managing rural development through
industrialization in Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State. Ascertained the
role of Government in the management of rural development through
industrialization, especially in Awgu Local Government. determined the impact
of industrialization on rural development. Identified the problems militating against
rural development through industrialization in Awgu Local. Data for the study
was sourced from two main sources which include Primary and Secondary sources
of data Collection. Primary data: questionnaires and oral interviews were used
to collect information from the respondents. Secondary data: journals, and
other relevant materials relating to the area of my investigation were
reviewed. Research instrument used in
this study includes oral interview and questionnaire. The questionnaire is
structural as to contain both close and open ended question. Simple tables and
percentages were used in treatment of data. Chi-square was used in testing the
hypotheses. At the end the researcher
found out that managing rural development through industrialization is still in
the infant stage in the areas of social amenities like good road networks,
drinkable water, electricity etc. the researcher found out that the people of
the area or council is agreed as a result of negligence by the government. It
was also observed during the course of this work that some town in Awgu are so
much bound by their tradition, which their belief forbids certain developmental
plans needed to be carried out in such areas. Based on the findings the
researcher hereby recommends that The appropriate people concerned in the
development should always remember that the urban area was once a remote in
either word that they should try as much as possible to bring up new talents in
the village by building good roads, electricity, and all the likes because it
will go a long way in developing their physically, mentally, spiritually and
otherwise. Government should provide Good road for the residence of Awgu LGA.
Non-Governmental Agencies should encourage small scale industries in Awgu LGA
by giving them loan to enhance their business. Government should reduce the
rate of loan repayment interest rate paid by small business operators in the
rural areas as well as Awgu LGA.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
In 1976, a uniform system of local government was introduced
according to local government reform of 1976, the primary motive is to take
development direct from the centre to the people at the rural areas through the
local government. Hence, the same reform
describe local government as a tool for
rural development, some of those motives are the conscious attempt for the federal government
to involve people in the management of
their rural affairs through which the
human and material resources of the rural dwellers can be effectively mobilized, tapped and advanced
into industrialization process [Odenigwe
(2008:5)] .
Since Nigeria started existing as a nation, development has been taking place especially in the urban
areas for the fact that man often crave
for what is good, it is often that people usually rush to urban area where there are
provisions for the comfort and welfare
of man by ways of social amenities and the infrastructure provision. This
exodus of people is necessitated by the fact that rural areas are often
neglected in terms of development, but those who rush to develop (urban) areas
seem to have forgotten that there is every need to develop the rural sector too
[Odenigwe (2008:5)] .
Odenigwe (2008:5), postulated that the rural subsection of the
economy is endowed with abundant natural resources unharnessed and to harness
them would require integrating rural people in the rural development exercise
through the provision of small scale industries of different types.
According to Spie (2006:23) Industrialization can be defined as an
integrated process of developing industries that would extract, manufacture or
convert raw materials into finished goods and services. Industries can mean different things to
different people and circumstance. Spie (2006:89) stated that industrialization
embraces the means by which man controls or modifies his natural environment,
is like major means of people adjusting to environment. It has to do with
techniques and tools with which people utilize the material resources of their
environment to satisfy their various needs and desires.
Industrialization is a technical knowhow, service ideas,
information body of knowledge, materials or goods and services capable of being
systematic and sequential in the generation, communicable and adoptable to
application in a given economic, political, social and cultural count against
this background. It is on this platform that the subject matter managing rural
development through industrialization was drawn. In managing rural development,
the basic role of management is planning, organizing, directing and
controlling. It is the research collective view that managers lead other than
plan, direct manpower rather than control [Spie (2006:89)] .
The effectiveness of management arises from leadership effort
rewards. The simultaneous creation of a co-operative and learning organization
is to facilitate the implementation process of management practices, which when
implemented supports rural national development organization survival and
effective utilization of resources for the benefit of mankind [Odenigwe
(2008:5)] .
1.2 Statement of the problem
One of the main reasons for creating local government is to bring
development very close to people in the rural areas. However, the problem here
is that some noble objectives are not being put into practice or being really
actualized. Why is the problem of technological know how in industrialization
process characterized by lack of infrastructure and intensive use of human
labour.
Studies have shown that
there are so many programms that are to be proposed and implemented by
the government towards reducing or eradicating technological dependency and
other associated issues in rural development. Previous studies have shown that
there are factors militating against the transportation of farm produce from
the rural to urban areas. Small scale industries are faced with the problem of
poor management [Spie (2006:89)] .
1.3 Objectives of the study
The broad objective of the study is to examine the impact of
industrialization on rural development. Specifically the study intends to:
Identify small scale industries in Awgu and evaluate efforts made
towards managing rural development through industrialization in Awgu Local
Government Area of Enugu State (2006-2015).
Ascertain the role of Government in the management of rural
development through industrialization, especially in Awgu Local Government
Area(2006-2015).
Determine the impacts of industrialization on rural development?
Identify the problems militating against rural development through
industrialization in Awgu Local (2006-2015).
Suggest possible solutions to the problems militating against
rural development through industrialization in Government Area Awgu Local
Government Area (2006-2015).
1.4 Research Questions
In an attempt to diagnose and identify the factors that hinder or
encourage rural development through industrialization, the following research
questions have been raised:
How many small scale industries do we have in Awgu and what are
the efforts made by small scale industries in Awgu towards managing rural
development through industrialization in Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu
State. (2006-2015)?
What are the role of Government in the management of rural
development through industrialization, especially in Awgu Local Government Area
(2006-2015).
What are the impacts of industrialization on rural development
(2006-2015)?
What are the problems militating against rural development through
industrialization in Awgu Local Government Area?
What are the possible ways of solving the problems militating
against rural development through industrialization in study Area?
1.5 Significance of the
study
This study may be beneficial to the society, investors, rural
dwellers and researchers.
On the part of the students, I have no doubt that the study may be
of immense importance to students who may wish to conduct future research on
the subject matter, it would serve as a reference material. To the rural
dweller. It may help them appreciate the depth of natural resources available
in rural setting in development through industrialization process, it may
bridge the gap in rural-urban migration.
Finally, the society as a whole stands the chance to benefit from
the output of the study. The society standard of living would improve,
employment may be generated, policy makers through this study may understand
why it is necessary to promote industrial projects. They may also understand
that the leadership efforts are needed to pioneer industrialization process.
1.6 Scope of the study
The scope of the study is the research bounding, this is on rural
development, how it can be managed through industrialization process. The focus
area is Awgu Local Government area in Enugu state. The study is also to
identify factors militating against the provision of rural infrastructure and
enabling environment for business to flourish in the rural areas.
1.7 Limitations of the study
The limitations of this work are those constraints which I
encountered during my research. One of the constraints is the problem of
collecting my questionnaire items which gave me a kind of stress, because I
have to travel all the way to my place of study to carryout my investigations.
During my interactions with the villagers, some of them neglected
me and left me with little or no response. Another constraint I encountered was
the problem of finance because during my research, a lot of money was needed
for me to transport my self in search of
my research materials. That not withstanding, all the hurdles were surmounted
and the research well completed at last.
1.8 Definition of Terms.
To make this research clearer and understandable, some terms are
defined by the researcher to make the research comprehensive.
v Small Scale Industry: These are those whose annual turnover dose
not exceed N200,000,000 or capital expenditure dose not exceed N200,000,000.(C
B N).
v Cooperative: This is an autonomous association of persons united
voluntarily to meet their common economic, social and cultural needs and
aspirations through a jointly owned and democratically-controlled
enterprise(ICA1995).

institutions as multidimensional process involving changes in well as the
acceleration of economic growth, reduction of inequality and eradication of the
absolute poverty.
v Rural Development:
Rural Development is undoubtedly one of the oldest and most popularly
acclaimed vehicle for the transformation of most societies allover the world.
v Industrialization: It can be defined as an integrated process of
developing industries that would extract, manufacture or convert raw materials
into finished goods and services, and also create job opportunity to the rural
people.
v Rural Area: this connotes the interior or remote parts of the
local government which the central government wants to develop by creating
local government.(aremu,(2010).
v Local Government: the third tier of government with in the state
charged with the responsibility of development and administration of people at
the grass root level. (Ejeakanonu,2007)
