ABSTRACT
This research work is designed primarily to examine and assess the roles being played by non-governmental organizations in the development of rural areas. The work is also designed to identify the causes of the low rate of involvement of the non-governmental organization in the development activities and the possible ways of making them more ideally effective. The study was carried out principally on community self-help organization in awgu local government area. A total population of 100 was selected as sample size through simple random sampling techniques. Primary and secondary sources of data collectively were used by the researcher which include oral interviews and questionnaires, textbooks, journals, document and newspaper. The researcher designed one hundred and twenty (120) questionnaires but one hundred (100) were selected retrieved. Statistical tools were also used for this research work. Questionnaires were employed in carrying out this research based on the historical nature. The relevant information which help and served as the foundation and construction of the questionnaires were the theory of development and rural development and related literature based on the roles of non-governmental organization in the development or rural area. Conclusively, lack of basic infrastructure and the problems of inadequate orientation reduces the numbers of projects being carried out by the development of rural areas. Government should endeavour to provide our rural areas with the basic social amenities so that these non-governmental organization will not be discourages by the alarming financial constraint that could mar the provision of these amenities before the operation of their organizations.
