Challenges of Community-Based Organizations in Rural Development in Nigeria

Malthus (1999), identified some of the problems facing cooperative societies in Nigeria to include; shortage of skilled personnel, inadequate financing, excessive government control and lack of trust among members.
Njoku (1999) enumerated constraint
faced by youth associations to include drudgery nature of agriculture due to the dependence on hand tools, investment in developing countries usually discriminate against agriculture, backwardness of the rural area where farming activities predominate,
Lack of social amenities such as electricity, good roads, pipe-borne water, transportation, schools, markets, hospitals and communication facilities.

          In addition, there is an increasing shortage of labour, which currently constitutes a serious threat to agricultural production.  For instance, there has been a continuous rise in the migration of youths, especially males to the urban centres in search of better jobs, thereby leaving the women and old men to carry out farming activities.  Returns from farming are significantly low compared to returns from non-farming activities in the urban centres hence the trend in migration.
