TOWN UNION
AS AGENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT IN ANAMBRA STATE
CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
According to
Eme et al, (2012) town unions represent an association formed by the people of
the same town, local government or even district as the case may be. Town Union
can also be seen as an agency of community through which innovations and
development purposes are achieved for the community. Society and cultures are
dynamic therefore social institutions grow with the society. The Town Union has
continued to grow with the Igbo society and has acquired new names like central
unions, group unions, progressive association, development union and Town
Union. Thus, in developing Igbo society the Town Union has assumed the status
of civil society organization with improved administrative structures. Apart
from undertaking several development and infrastructural projects, it has
continued to serve as the organ for local administration in Igbo land.
1.1 Background of the Study
The rural
areas are characterized by pervasive endemic poverty, made manifest by
widespread hunger, malnutrition, poor health, general lack of access of formal
education, modern housing and various forms of social and political solution
compared with their urban counterparts. Thirdly, it is being recognized that
the problems of our urban centres cannot be solved unless those of the rural
areas are solved, or at least contained. Hence these problems emanated from the
unprecedented rural –urban migration which in turn derives from rural area
underdevelopment, poverty and unemployment (Akpomuvie 2010).
Similarly
Ekekpe and Ekpe (2009) noted with pity the conditions of our rural areas when
they averred that whether you are in the Northern part of the country or in the
southern part, you will be struck by the very level of abject poverty, mass
illiteracy, unsanitized environment lack of clean water supply, lack of access
roads, unavailability of health care facilities, improper and inadequate
housing poor lighting particularly at night, defeatist/fatalist attitude, small
land parcel ownership, out-modeled ineffective farming implement etc. these
conditions cannot be ameliorated by government alone.
The
importance of the community development in contemporary Nigerian society cannot
be overemphasized as much as it cannot be relegated to the background as its
significance stems from its recognized role in the process of achieving the
improvement of economic, social, political and cultural conditions of the
communities. As a strategy, community development ensures rapid national
development hence Ugwu’s (2009:4) assertion “community development is one of
the major planks upon which National developmental policies and their
implementation are hinged”. The research seeks to investigate town union as
agent of community development in Anambra state.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The ultimate
goal of development is to improve the well-being of people by identifying and
solving the basic problems that can hinder community development. It is also
axiomatic that one of the problems facing Nigeria and indeed other African
nations in the post-colonial era is that of improving the living condition of
her people. This is even more in the rural population for according to Eme et
al (2012). The very level of abject poverty, mass illiteracy, unsanitized
environment lack of clean water supply, lack of access roads, unavailability of
health care facilities, improper and inadequate housing poor lighting
particularly at night, defeatist/fatalist attitude, small land parcel
ownership, out-modeled ineffective farming implement etc. Cannot be ameliorated by government alone.
The importance of the community development in contemporary Nigerian society
cannot be overemphasized as much as it cannot be relegated to the background as
its significance stems from its recognized role in the process of achieving the

communities. As a strategy, community development ensures rapid national
development hence Ugwu’s (2009:4) asserted that “community development is one
of the major planks upon which National developmental policies and their
implementation are hinged”. Therefore the problem confronting this research is
to appraise town union as agent of community development in Anambra state.
