Abstract

This study explores the problem of infrastructural decay in post 1999 Akwa Ibom. It follows the inclusive infrastructural development theory and builds on recent data from the National Bureau on Statistics (NBS)and the Africa Development Bank’s(AfDB) Infrastructural Development Index(IDI) and case examples to examine key trends in rural basic infrastructural development with emphasis on water and electricity supply .In particular, it analyzes how and why efficient public administration is essential in infrastructural development and essentially shows how, on the contrary, inefficient public administration affects the relationship between development administration and infrastructural transformation. The study undertook a two decade scenario (1999 to 2019), which is aimed at a robust analysis. Findings among others, suggest that rural/urban dichotomy and in particular, urban bias obscure inclusive infrastructural development as there is decay in most basic rural infrastructures. This has serious implication for Agenda 2030.In the alternative, the study suggests that inclusive infrastructural development contributes significantly to human development, poverty reduction, and the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Conclusion focuses on future research agenda and policy response
