Abstract :
Every rural community in Nigeria should be
seen as a panacea for development because of its
strategic contributions to national development.
Successive governments have made fragile efforts
towards improving health care services, education and
the economy, for the development of Michika Local
Government Area of Adamawa State. Unfortunately, all
the efforts made did not achieve desired goal. Now, that
the Boko Haram insurgency has subsided in Michika
Local Government areas, the International Rescue
Committee, UNICEF and Family Health International
360 have taken up some of the developmental challenges
to compliment government efforts in reinstating the
rural infrastructures. However, this paper focused on
INGOs contributions on the provision of health care
services, portable drinking water, renovation of schools
and economic development. The study utilized both
primary and secondary data and Chi-square was used to
test the hypothesis. A sample size of 180 respondents was
drawn for the study. Based on the findings, the
International Rescue Committee has drilled 49 new
boreholes and rehabilitated 18 old ones in 12
communities in Michika local government. UNICEF has
renovated 14 primary schools, 15,000 learning kits and
trained 510 class room teachers. Family Health
International 360 renovated 5 primary health care
centres, distributed mosquito nets, malaria vaccine and
nutritious food supplements for malnourished children.
By this, it means International Non-governmental
Organizations has contributed 1% on provision of
portable water supply, 1% on health care services
and1% in educational development. This paper
therefore recommends that, the federal, state and local
governments of all nations should never neglect rural
communities as they are the basic foundation for
development. However, what International NonGovernmental Organizations did in Michika is worth
emulation by the government.
