Abstract
This study examines the impact of the provision of infrastructure in the socio-economic
development of rural areas. The study attempt & to test the proposition that the degree of
development has a positive relationship with the level of provision of infrastructure. The study
focuses on Gbongan, Akiriboto, Osu and Ibodi in Oyo State of Nigeria.
Original survey materials and secondary data were used to show that the degree of development
in the rural areas is a function of the provision of such infrastructures as transport,
communications and power as well as agricultural and health services.
The policy implications of the findings were considered in the concluding sections of the thesis.
Further, it is the contention of the thesis that Government interventions in rural development
should therefore revolve round the provision of infrastructures that will enhance agricultural
development and communal level of living' in order to stem rural-urban migration.
