Introductio
n
1.1
Backgroun
d of the
Study

To say that

rural

dwellers

constitute

the

“majority of

mankind”

tantamount

to stating

the obvious.

The picture

as it exists
Nigeria, cuts

across the

entire

developing

countries of

Africa, Latin

America and

Asia.

Ruralism,

one may be

tempted to

hurriedly

conclude, is

synonymous

with the

general

condition of

underdevelopment

in these

countries.

By rural

societies, we
imply ways

of life that

are

traditionally

oriented,

linked with,

but separate

from urban

centres,

combining

market

activities

with

subsistence

production.

People who

are engaged

in rural

non-farm

economic

activities
need

information

on food

processing,

banking,

textile,

weaving,

raffia work

and

tailoring,

among

others. They

also require

information

on wood

works,

metal work,

repair

services for

radio,

television,

vehicles and
watches and

other

miscellaneous

activities

like soap

making

(Belshew,

2005). Rural

people also

need

information

on the

importance

of good

source of

drinking

water and

the

prevention

of common

diseases.

Mortality
and

malnutrition

of children

are

particularly

prevalent in

rural

communities;

therefore, a

lot of

information

on childcare

is required.

Rural

dwellers

also require

information

on social

participation

in any

programme
for rural

development.

The above

implies that

the rural

populace is,

in essence,

characterized

by such

features as

widespread

ignorance

which

results from

their

inability to

read and

write

scattered

settlements

and high
level of

illiteracy. In

addition,

the rural

populace

represents

the

constituency

of the bulk

of victims of

inaccessibility

to such

urban

amenities as

good shelter

and health

facilities. In

relation to

other parts

of the globe.

Rogers

(2008) once
found that

“Asia, Africa

and Latin

America

have a total

of no less

than 1.75

billion

peasants”,

which

implies that

no less than

“three

fourths of

the

population

in most less

developed

countries

are peasant

rural

dwellers”
Coming to

the specific

instance of

Nigeria,

apart from

the much

quoted

seventy-five

(75%)

percentage

of rural and

illiterate

Nigerians,

the 2006

Nigerian

census

indicates a

total

population

figure of

166.2

million for
the country.

Of this, a

staggering

figure was

found to be

rural. For

the fact that

the

country’s

population

had steadily

soared up

since this

last census

exercise, it

is better

imagined

what the

rural

population

situation

will be as at
the

moment.

Obviously,

the rural

populace

suffers from

an acute low

productivity,

social and

economic

retrogression

due mainly

to

ignorance,

which is

also a direct

consequence

of either

inadequate

or total lack

of
information

provision to

them

(Belshew,

2005).

Hence, their

social

exclusion

from active

participation

in national

development

efforts.

Considering

their

numerical

strength in

relation to

the

potentiality

of what

positively
significant

contributions

they stand

to make in

the society

generally,

their

exclusion

from the

main-

stream of

events can,

at best, be

described as

a cog in the

wheel of the

nation’s

progress.

After all, the

fact that

information

has always
played an

important

role in

human life

and as a

basic human

need was

never a

subject of

controversy.

If it is then

true that

information

and ideas,

agreed upon

by

information

experts, are

basic human

needs, it will

not be out

of place
making bold

to state that

free and

equal

accessibility

to such

information

and ideas by

every

member of

the society

irrespective

of racial,

religious,

geopolitical

and

socioeconomic

status

becomes

even more

foundational

(Njokus,
2001). This

is even more

so that

every

human

society–

urban and

rural alike–

had been

found to be

considerably

dependent

on various

types of

information,

though at

different

levels, for

their

existence,

survival and
growth on a

daily basis.

It was

therefore in

an attempt

to attend to

all and

sundry via

information

provision

that the

philosophy

behind the

emergence

of the

popular

broadcast

media of

communication

was rooted.

The library
as such an

information

provision

instrument

is however a

comparatively

recent

phenomenon.

The need to

adequately

inform

every

segment of

a society

could not

have been

unconnected

to the

realization

of the

essence of

information
and

knowledge

as a

veritable

democratic

tool.

Effective

access to it

increase

people’s

ability to be

informed on

current

issues, on

how to

conduct

personal as

well as civic

obligations

and

responsibilities.
In this way,

every

member is

duly carried

along;

individual,

community

and

national

drive

towards a

general

societal

emancipation

with that

much

needed

sense of

belonging.

After all, an

uniformed

society
cannot be

free while a

society

devoid of

freedom can

hardly

endure.

Hence the

emergence

of

professionals

in the field

of

information

whose

specialties

revolve

around the

primary

functions of

gathering,

processing,
organizing

and

ultimately

providing a

wide variety

of useful

information

to an

equally wide

spectrum of

audience

(Moemeka,

2005) . This

also led to

the need for

people

specially

trained in

the

handling

and use of

such
technological

instruments

as the

newspaper

and recently

the satellite

broadcast

together

with

appropriate

techniques

for ensuring

satisfactory

provision of

information.

These are

hereby

referred to

as the

information

professionals,
in whatever

guise or

disguise for

so long as

they

perform

those earlier

stated basic

functions of

information

provision.

In rural

areas, the

radio plays a

vital role in

spreading

information,

educating

and

enlightening

people,
strengthening

national

integration,

and creating

national

identity.

Radio has

the

potential for

information,

inspiration,

and

instruction

for rural

dwellers.

From the

definition of

rural

dwellers,

most will be

illiterates
and few

literates,

engaged in

the

production

of food fibre

and raw

materials.

Those

engaged in

agriculture

would no

doubt

require

information

on specific

supplies

required on

their farm.

They need

to know

where, when
and how to

begin to

plant seeds,

use

pesticides,

use

mechanical

equipment,

etc. They

also need to

know the

process,

names of

suppliers

and how to

satisfy the

conditions

for

obtaining

them

(Njokus,

2001).
1.2
Statement
of the
Problem

It remains a

fact that

rural

information

provision by

information

professionals

is far from

adequate in

Nigeria as a

whole and

Enugu State

in

particular. It

has been

observed,

and

correctly
too, that the

specific area

of

information

provision to

rural

dwellers has

suffered

greatly and

perennially

from near-

complete

neglect.

Thus, the

rural

populace, in

contrast to

its urban

counterpart,

is

information

starved. The
urban-

oriented

nature of

popular

media of

mass

information

provision

outfits like

the radio

had further

compounded

the problem

by creating

the

unwholesome

impression

that

information

needs and

efforts

towards
meeting

such needs

are strictly

urban

affairs. The

problem

necessitating

this study is

therefore

what is the

role of radio

in rural

development?.

1.3
Objectives
of the
Study

The

objective of

this

research is
to find out

the means

through

which press

can develop

the rural

dwellers in

objects are;

1 To
examine
the

importance
of
broadcast

media
to
rural
dwellers.

2 To

1.5
Significanc
e of Study
The

relevance of

this

research

work cannot

be over

emphasized

given the

importance

of

information

to mankind.

The

outcome of

this study

will equip

the print

media and

personnel to

provide

adequate
information

that is

needed for

rural

development.

It also will

serve as a

source of

reference to

rural

dwellers in

educating

them on the

importance

of the print

media in

rural

development.

In the

academic,

the out of
this study

will assist

lecturers

especially

those

treating

related

topics in

passing

knowledge

across to the

students. It

will serve a

reference

material to

lecturers.

Finally,

students of

mass

communication

will also
find the

work useful

as it touches

on their

area of

specialization.

5.1
Introductio
n

This study

examined

the role of

broadcast

media in

improving

the

economy

and social

lives of rural

dwellers (a

study of

residents in

Awgu Local

Government

Area of

Enugu
State). The

study was

necessitated

by the fact

that rural

broadcasting

is an

important

tool for

rural

development

especially in

developing

countries of

Africa and

Asia. This

study

adopted

survey

method and

made use of

a self-
constructed

questionnaire

for the

collection of

data. The

questionnaire

enabled the

researcher

to obtain

first hand

information

on the

subject

matter from

respondents

in

communities

in the area

of study.

Three

hundred

and ninety
nine (399)

respondents

made up of

204 male

and 195

female were

randomly

selected for

the survey.

The sample

size was

determined

using the

Taro

Yamane‘s

model of

sample size

determination.

5.2
Summary
of Findings
Data

presented

and

analyzed in

this study

produced

the

following

findings:

1 A
great

number
of
respondents

listen
to
different

radio
programs
on

development
to
a
very

large
extent.
2

The
residents
of

awgu
listen
to

Radio
development
program

very
often,
programs

like
health
watch

program,
get
it

right
program
and
political

voices
program.
3

Radio
broadcast
programs

have
influenced
residents

of
awgu
to

a
very
large

extent
this
is

recognized
when
the
residents

agreed
to
be

more
aware
of

their
health,
get

their
permanent
voters

card(pvc)
and
are

more
aware
of

their
fundamental
human

rights
by
listens
to

the
above
developmental

programs.
4
Lack

of
government
intervention,

lack
of
resources

and
wrong
programming

are
factors
that

hinder
the
development

of
rural
areas
and

its
dwellers
through

the
broadcast
media

(radio).

5.3
Conclusion

This project

has exposed

a lot of

information

on radio

broadcast

program

and rural

development
in Awgu

local

government

area in

Enugu state

and in

Nigeria in

general. The

research

also

observed

that they

are factor

impeding

the optimal

development

of awgu

local

government

through

local
broadcast

programs.

5.4
Recommen
dations

The
government
should

put
up
more

and
effective
developmental

programmes
on
radio

ranging
from
educational

programmes
to
enlightenment
programmes

and
instructional
programmes

to
foster
development

in
rural
areas

and
its
dwellers.

2
Although
there

are
development
programs

aired
on
different
radio
there
are

no
effective
means

of
mobilizing
people

to
actually
move

towards
development.
Therefore

government
should
mobilize

the
rural
dwellers

to
practices
or
works

towards
they
have

learnt
through
the

broadcast
programs.
