Abstract
Over the years, there has been a consistent, decline in
agricultural production. This decline could be attributed to the
neglect of this sector since the the upsurge of the petroleum
sector- A manifestation of this decline in agricultural
production is noticeable in terms of the huge amount expended on
food imports- Policy makers have realized their mistakes by
their neglect of this sector in recent years, as prices of oil
dropped and consequently, a drastic fall in revenue- In view of
this, efforts are now being made to revamp the sector by
introducing quite a number of measures among which is the
provision of agricultural financing by external sources.
This research project examines the role of the World Bank in
the financing of agricultural development projects in Nigeria
with specific reference to Kano State Agricultural and Rural
Development Authority (KNARDA). KNARDA was established in 1982
with the aim of enhancing agricultural productivity and boosting
the rural economy of Kano State- Both the World Bank, Federal and
State Governments have the responsibility of ensuring project
success through judicious, timely commitment, mobilisation and
allocation of resources.
Jigawa State was created out of Kano State in August 1991
and all assets and liabilities were shared between the two
states. However, for the purpose of this study, Kano State will
be examined as it were before the creation of Jigawa State.
Therefore, this project will cover the period of 1982 when KNARDA
was established up to 1991 before the sharing of assets
