The rural society has been imperative in the supply of both humans and materialsrequired by various sectors of every economy. But successive authorities are predisposedto neglect If not relegate to the background this goose that lays the golden egg in terms ofsustenance and development. Oftentimes policies initiated for its development is notadequately and effectively implemented. Therefore, this paper is an attempt at acceptablemechanism for developing and implementing policies for rural emancipation. The paperadopted the exploratory research approach involving the use of secondary source withminimal primary source to generate data through questionnaire and interview guide. Thepaper observes that the problem is not the lack of effective policy/programme initiationand formulation but the dearth of the political will to implement; high incidence ofcorruption; complete absence of purposive leadership; misguided and misdirectedpriority; placing the wrong person at the strategic position; inconsistency and absent ofcontinuity in policy/programmes implementation in government affairs. For a way outamongst others, involvement of the benefiting rural/urban communities in monitoring theimplementation of programmes or project execution in their domain is important whileavoiding the pitfall of role conflict in policies and programmes formulation cumimplementation.Keywords: Poverty, Rural Development, Economy, Policy, Communities,Empowerment, Society, Emancipation, socioeconomic, Investment
