摘要：In realizing accelerated development in the rural areas, settlement planning and institutions such as Cooperative, Thrift and Credit societies must act as catalysts. In addition, a bottom-up approach of planning with the people is necessary to make developmental activities relevant to dwellers of these areas. This paper appraises rural development efforts in Nigeria in relation to its impact on Ewu-Urhobo region of Delta State. Ewu-Urhobo region has four localities with one paramount ruler. Two hundred and ninety seven (267) respondents were randomly selected for the study. Analysis of data was done using simple percentile. The research discovered that most of the people in the region earn low annual income because development efforts have not trickled down to the rural areas. Policy measures were suggested based on research findings.
