Abstract

The relationship between Public Administration and National Development has lost its vigour, dynamism and interest because of criticisms that has trailed the role of the public bureaucracy in rural development in Nigeria. This is exasperated by the inadequacies of Public Bureaucracy in engendering Rural Development, justified by the enormous developmental policies and programmes that are deliberately rural-based in Nigeria yet these rural areas are still grossly unattractive to live in. This concern is insufferably disheartening because public bureaucracy exists in any society for the convenience of effective and efficient service delivery. The great and dire need for development especially in the rural areas amidst abundant human and material resources in Nigeria has occasioned the great tendency to blame politicians for the poverty, underdevelopment, and colossal leadership tragedy that best describes the contemporary Nigerian society. This is because from military dictatorship to ‘democratic governments’ all have conspired to reduce governance to the manipulation of public office to deceive and loot public funds for personal aggrandisement.
