Abstract: The present poor conditions in many rural areas in Nigeria require the development efforts of both the government and the governed. The study has considered the need for making information available as part of the necessary ingredients for Nigerian rural development efforts. The author has highlighted various areas that need to be addressed through development activities designed to ensure better rural communities in the country. Areas treated include development of available rural human resources; construction of good roads; exploiting the gains of fertile agricultural lands; provision of high yielding agricultural inputs; formation of rural co-operative societies; and provision of social amenities, libraries and information centres.
