ABSTRACT
There has been an increasing clamour for scraping of the Local Governments since they have
failed in their duties as means of bringing development to the rural areas. As a result of
negligence on the part of the local government in developing the community, the local people
have resorted to self-help development. The study examined whether age-grades have fostered
development in Nkanu East Local Government Area or whether lack of funds hinders them from
contributing effectively to rural development. Moreover, the research adopted survey method
using self-report technique like questionnaire while quantitative method of simple percentage
system was used in analyzing the data. Structural Functional theory was used as our theoretical
framework. Nevertheless, the work discovered the following: 1. that age-grades have fostered
development in Nkanu East Local Government and 2. that lack of funds hindered the age-grades
from contributing effectively to rural development. Based on the above findings, the work
recommended that there should be adequate participation by the local people in community
development.
