Abstract:

Development is always deliberated with economic connotations and it is referred to as an increase in the gross national product or in per capita income. In this understanding, development is equated with growth and it is envisioned that significant increase in the production of goods and services would bring development to the country. It was also assumed that the trickledown effect of growth would lead to an equitable sharing of benefits resources and opportunities in society. On the other hand, according to Todaro (1981: 56) development is a multidimensional process involving the reorganization and reorientation of the entire economic and social systems. He continues to argue that development is a physical reality and a state of mind in which society has, through some combinations of social, economic and political process secured the way of obtaining better life. There were several causes of development such as increased savings and investment and acquisition of appropriate technology; structural transformation of the economy and production; human capital and formation and human resource development; an economic system that allows for efficient allocation, including increases in the efficiency of government.
