Abstract

The provision of basic infrastructures is a prerequisite for effective and efficient service delivery at the grassroots. Despite the efforts and resources expended by successive administrations in Nigeria since 1999 to transform the local communities, there still exists lack of functional public infrastructure at the grassroots level in several states of the Federation. The study examined leadership recruitment and infrastructural development at the grassroots level in Nigeria with specific reference to Lagos and Rivers states. It relied on mixed method design. The population included the residents of selected states. Sample size of 914 was calculated using Cohen’s formula. The study employed multi-stage sampling technique in the selection of respondents. Data were collected using validated questionnaire, interview guide and focus group discussion guide. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. Findings revealed that poor leadership recruitment has affected infrastructural development at the grassroots level in selected states. Most local government areas in selected states lacked well equipped primary healthcare centres, motorable roads, properly equipped and functional public schools, and public portable water supply. The study therefore recommended that the state and local governments should intensify efforts in providing adequate infrastructures in order to improve the standard of living of residents at the grassroots level. There is equally the urgent need for electoral reforms to reposition leadership recruitment process for effective infrastructural development.
