Rural Infrastructure Survey

A database project inherited from the Centre for Food and Agricultura Strategy (CEFAS) at the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi. The original survey report – Rural Infrastructures in Nigeria – Basic Needs of the Rural Majority was produced in 1980 followed by the combined first and second updates in 1994, following which the project passed to FIF for expansion and digitization; as Basic Infrastructures in Nigeria – Basic Needs of the Rural Majority. The typical report contains numerical data on all conceivable types of infrastructure available in each Local Government Area of each State of the country.

Originally, the range of infrastructures comprised as follows:

1.    Rural Physical Infrastructures 

2.    Rural Social infrastructures 

3.    Rural Institutional Infrastructures 

And, upon the takeover by FIF a new structure was adopted, specifically focusing food sector and in line with the value chain of agricultural commodities as follows:

1.    Food Production Infrastructure

2.    Food Storage Infrastructure

3.    Food Marketing Infrastructure
