Abstract
In attempts to increase agricultural production, both
State and Local Government in Kaduna State have provided seeds,
fertilizer, and other agricultural inputs, free or at subsidized
rates to the communities in Kaduna State. Likewise, extension
services were given and the agricultural experts do go periodcially
to different farmers to give advice, showing them various
techniques to improve their farming methods in order to improve
their yields. The both governments have built infrastructures,
and have made attempts to control the marketing of the agricultural
products as well as providing easy credit facilities to some
farmers.
The have also participated in some national rural development
programmes such as National Accelerated Food Production Programme,
the Procurement and Distribution of Fertilizer Project, Operation
Feed the Nation, the Integrated Rural Development, Agricultural
Credit Guarantee Scheme, the River Basin Development Authority,
the Green Revolution and presently the Directorate for Foods,
Roads and Rural Infrastructures, (DFRRI).
All these programmes that have been implemented by the
governments have demonstrated their intentions in improving
and promoting the socioeconomic standards of the rural communities.
This study has dealt with the analysis of how these programmes
were planned, implemented, and the impacts of the programmes
on the rural population in Kaduna State. It is our belief
that this study will throw more lights on the changing roles
and positions of the rural communities.
