 Background Information (cont.)
• Split into two distinctive ecological zones, the
Western rainforest to the South and the
intermediate guinea savannah to the North.
• There are also thick forest reserves and swathes of
uncultivated agricultural land.
• The equatorial climate is highly conducive to
arable cultivation and livestock with average daily
temperatures ranging from 25°C to 35°C.
• Abundant natural resources (including solid
mineral deposits) such as gold, marble, clay and
granite.
• Mean annual rainfall of 1194 mm in the North and

 DEVELOPMENTAL CHALLENGES
(a) Human Capital Development
• The State’s population is growing faster than basic
health and education facilities.
• Infrastructures and facilities for basic education
and health were grossly inadequate.
• Meeting the needs of the growing population was
therefore a major development challenge.
(b) Water Supply and Sanitation
• For 17years, tap water was very elusive in many
parts of the State, especially in Ibadan where over
75% of the population live.
• Several boreholes and other water projects have
also remained non-functional.
• The State capital was renown to be the most
dirtiest city in Nigeria.
 DEVELOPMENTAL CHALLENGES (cont.)
(c) Roads and Transportation
• Many roads in the State were in the state of
disrepair.
• Most roads were without good drainage system
and many communities were cut off from each
other due to collapsed bridges.
• Public transportation grounded with skeletal
services rendered to the people using small
number of low capacity vehicles.
(d) Rural Electrification
• Several rural electrification projects were either
not functioning, or functioning sub-optimally.
• Many towns and villages were neglected.
 DEVELOPMENTAL CHALLENGES (cont.)
(e) Market Sector
• Due to non-location of markets to residential areas.
People do travel to long distance markets through
bad roads, at high transport costs and with
associated risks of accidents and robbery.
• This also gave rise to street trading, transacting
businesses beside and/or on the roads.
• In rural areas, many produce sellers are forced to
sell at below the market price, due to poor access to
markets.
(f) Environment
 Dirty and filthy environment, especially at the State
capital.
 Unkempt and bushy roads, roads medians and
roundabouts.
DEVELOPMENTAL CHALLENGES (cont.)

Flooding as a result of breakdown in sewage and

solid waste management systems.
Breakdown in laws and order as thuggery and
robbery became the order of the day.
(g) Low Household Income
• About 70% of the population in the State are
dependants, feeding on less than N200 per day.
• More than 2/3 of the population are poor.
• Unemployed and dependent youths.
• Minimum wage of N6,500 per month.
• The gap between the rich and the poor was very
wide.
