| dc.description.abstract | The study appraise infrastructure provisions in Saki Township with a view to improving the socio-economic activities and life of residents in the town. The Township was stratified into five district comprising Ajegunle/Komi, Apinninte/Otun, Irewole, Challenge/Gelu and Kolawole/Sango axis for the purpose of questionnaire administration and data collection. Primary source of data employed consisted of the administration of questionnaire to 176 randomly selected residents. with hypothetical thought that the period or residency of respondents in an area is (or is not) dependent on the provision and access to facilities, the correlation analysis output has a coefficient of 0.74, showing very strong positive relationship between period of residency and facilities in an area. The study revealed the extent of provision and maintenance of access roads, local streets, water and health facilities, among others, in the study area, while other infrastructure such as street light, borehole, deep-well, drainages, culvert, bridges, primary health care facility and traffic control light were deficient as some were either poorly equipped or not functional. The paper concluded that there is need for the upgrade of urban infrastructure in the town as well as making them more functional and accessible to residents in order to improve the socio-economic engagements, growth and spatial development in the town. The recommendation made include regular improvement of access roads and local streets, provision of waste disposal facilities and public toilet at strategic locations as well as routine maintenance of bridges/culvert to allow easy flow of rain runoff and involvement of Community Based Organization in the provision and maintenance of basic infrastructure. It is believed that these shall not only enhance the sustenance of infrastructure, but also prolong their lifespan towards attaining improved socio-economic activities in the town. | |
