Abstract
This thesis aims to assess the general performance of the
Directorate of Food Roads and Rural Infrastructure (DFRRI) in
Soba Local Government. Area of Kaduna State from 1986 - 1990.
Primary data were obtained using designed questionnaires, while
secondary data were obtained from Government publications,
relevant text books and research works, Journals and News-Papers.
Results obtained were worked out in percentages from which
discription and inferences were made. A sample population of 300
comprising 150 farmers, 100 Project staff and 50 petty traders
and artisans was used for the purpose of obtaining the primary
information. Results obtained show that Agricultural inputs and
tools (chemicals pesticides, improved crop varieties, tractors,
irrigation pumps) as well as extension services, were obtained
from sources other than the Directorate. Social infrastructure
including, potable drinking water and access roads were also not
provided by the Directorate. The foregoing has led us to conclude
that DFRRI has not succeeded in its rural transformation mission.
Therefore the first working hypothesis that; Non commitment to
obligations by policy makers and implementors on rural
development creates inefficient and ineffective execution of such
programmes, is accepted. The result also accepted the second
working hypothesis because there was no evidence of mobilization
of the rural dwellers for developmental purposes by the
Directorate. Recommendations were proposed for efficient and
effective performance in future.
