Abstract:
The research study investigated the grassroots administration and rural development of the Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area in Imo state. The study aimed to investigate the involvement of local government in coordinating self-help and agro-based rural development efforts in the Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo state. Based on the stated objectives of the study, two research questions and hypotheses were generated and subsequently tested. The study was based on the principle of decentralisation as a framework for analysis. The study collected data from both primary and secondary sources. The sample consists of 399 respondents selected from a population of 251,900. The collected data were analysed, and the study's findings indicate that the local government in Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo state is involved in coordinating self-help and agro-based rural development activities. The study suggests that the state government in Imo state, Nigeria should create a strong legal framework that can be adopted by local council authorities. This framework should incorporate self-help development initiatives into the overall structure for community and rural development.
