EFFECTS OF
INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATION
ABSTRACT
The main
purpose of this study was to examine the effects of infrastructures on the
development of education in Egbedore Local Government in Osun State. A hundred
respondents were chosen at random. The instruments used for this study were the
questionnaire and personal interview. Data collected were analyzed through the
use of percentages and frequency distribution tables.
This work
showed that there was a tripartite approach to infrastructural administration
in Nigeria and it affected educational development in Egbedore Local
Government. The three tiers of government (federal, state and local) are
involved in the provision of infrastructures at local government level.
Local
government plays major role in administration of these services because apart
form providing their own infrastructures, they also act as agents of both the
federal and state governments in infrastructural administration and its effects
on educational development at the local government level.
The research
has shown that basically infrastructures are conceived as the provision of
infrastructural facilities like roads, health facilities, water supply,
electricity, education facilities, and etcetera, in Nigeria.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Although
there are a lot of articles on effects of infrastructural development in
education at both the grass–root and the nation at large, but not much
attention has been paid to research on the involvement of local government. All
the three tiers of government (Federal, State and Local government) and voluntary
organizations are concerned with providing infrastructural facilities for the
development of education in Nigeria, but it is difficult to come across a
single book giving comprehensive account of the activity of all bodies involved
in provision of educational infrastructural facilities, in particular local
government. One just have to look for such information from various records,
hence literature on this topic is limited.
This essay
will therefore be another source of information on the effects of
infrastructure on the development of education in Egbedore local government
area and as such will go a long way to contribute to the existing literature in
social service administration in Nigeria.
The term
social services, is generally concerned with the welfare of human beings as
members of the society. They are services provided for the community to promote
good standard of living. Consequently because of the wide scope of this
subject, it is difficult to differentiate between infrastructural development
and social services which should be run purely as economic services but are
being run as social services. Local government and voluntary organizations are
involved in the administration of social services in Nigeria. Effects of
coordinating to ensure that the activities of these bodies are complementary or
supplementary to one another arose. Therefore, there is need for co-ordination
to avoid duplication of efforts.
At this
juncture it will be relevant to examine some of the effects which are
militating against infrastructure policy in Nigeria as identified in the
guideline to the Fourth National Development Plan (1981 – 1985). These effects
include “lack of clear definition and conception of the real scope and meaning
of social welfare, shortage of qualified personnel, instability of
institutional arrangements and lack of necessary facilities.
Hence, there
is need for the federal, state and local governments in Nigeria to pull their
resources together in combating effects of infrastructural development on
education which should be conceptualized in such a way as to embrace war
against poverty, diseases, social and physical insecurity.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The purpose
of writing this essay is to focus attention on the effects of infrastructure on
the development of education provided by Egbedore local government to the
effect which will be of interest to the government. As we are all aware, the
pattern of local government administration in Nigeria since the 1976 Local
Government Reform is the same so that by writing on Egbedore local government
Osun State, a mirror is surely provided to guide the local government
throughout the country.
However,
attempt would be made in this work to appraise the performance of Egbedore
local government with particular reference to infrastructural development on
education. The report will cover the functions of the local government since
1989. The paper will also deal with effects of infrastructure in the local
government and some possible solutions made available. Attempt will be made to
compare the financial position of the local government for the past two years.
A comparison
of allocation received from the federal and state government is also dealt
with. I would focus attention on the infrastructural facilities on education
provided by Egbedore local government between year 2000 – 2008.
1.3 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
In order to
ensure proper and scientific work, the scope of the study is limited to
Egbedore Local Government only. This is because of the familiarity with this
local government as it is practically impossible to study all local government
areas in Osun State. The study will therefore be limited to effects of
infrastructure on education in Egbedore Local Government.
1.4 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The main
purpose of this research is to explore the effects of infrastructure on the
development of education in Egbedore Local Government Area of Osun State. The
specific objectives were to
Find out
whether the Federal, State and Local Governments have a great contribution to
infrastructures in the area
Find out
whether there is any adequate supply of infrastructures in the area.
Find out
whether the introduction of G.S.M is a welcome development to the community.
Find out
whether the government provides science equipment for the schools.
Find out
whether teachers are qualified for the job.
1.5 JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY
This study
is significant because it is to see the positive effects of infrastructures on
the development of education in Egbedore Local Government Area of Osun State.
The results and information collected from this study will help to contribute
to the development of infrastructures and as a result, to the educational
development in our community.
1.6 DEFINITION OF TERM
DEFINITION
OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT
In the
implementation guideline on the application of Civil Service Reform of 1976,
Local Government is defined as government at the grass root level exercised
through representative councils, established by law to exercise specific powers
within defined areas. These powers give the council substantial control over
local affairs as well as the staff, institutional and financial powers to
initiate and direct the provision of services and to determine and implement
projects so as to complement the activities of both the state and federal
governments in their areas to ensure through the active participation of the
people and their traditional institution through local initiative and response
to Local needs.
Local
government therefore, is a mechanism for a more effective decentralization of
the implementation of policies designed at the headquarters. From the above
description of Local Government, the characteristics of modern Local Government
could be enunciated as follows:-
It can enter
into contract and agreement
It has
fiscal and administration autonomy
Local
Government is a corporate body that can sue and be sued.
1.7 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The
limitations to this study included time in getting information from the
respondents. Few people were sampled from different schools in the Local
Government as representative of the population in the study area.
