Abstract
Development is a noticeable growth from one state or stage to another which is higher, desirable, or more advanced than the previous. For any nation to attain a desirable or laudable level of development there must be effective use of communication which has been severally identified as a major tool of mobilization. For development programs to be planned, implemented and rated at the end as successful, it must be all inclusive i.e. it must be spread across board to include both the rural and the urban areas. For this reason it is imperative to understand the nature of these two settings as it can be a major guide in achieving the nationally established developmental plans and goals. Any reasonable growth and desirable development may be an elusive fantasy without a good communication policy in place. For this reason this paper examines how national development can be improved through the effective application of the national communication policies.
