AN EVALUATION OF DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION IN CROSS RIVER STATE OF NIGERIA
Abstract
Development Administration as a system of government and strategy for development was conceived in the continuous search for the best possible system of public administration that could lead to the solution of the problem of underdevelopment. Being dynamic, innovative, and achievement-oriented, development administration is considered a suitable system for the developing countries where every programme is development-oriented. This system of administration was adopted in Cross River State in the belief that it would help to mobilise the natural and material resources in the state and harness them for its economic, political and socio-cultural development. The interest in this study was aroused by the persistent state of poor development in the state inspite of the adoption and operation of this development-oriented system for some eight years, a period considered sufficient to have given the state a head start. From the findings in the study, there had been relative improvement in private and communal life of the people within those years. This improvement was,” as it were, a stop-gap as the pendulum appeared to have swung back. A close look at the development pattern -ivsuggested that certain factors other than development administration were responsible for the relative development in the state. A further look was taken of all the variables necessary for the successful implementation of development projects. The result appears to indict administration, which is the most vital input in development administration, as not being capable of making administration fulfil its dreams. Development administration, with all it stands for, in any case, cannot lead to development in the developing countries until development becomes man-centred and what is being preached is practised, that is, making the rural areas centres of development.
