| Abstract: | This paper attempts to examine one form of development effort towards achieving increased productivity by land consolidation and co-operative marketing whereby participants can benefit from economies of scale arising from such co-operation. It also tries to analyse critically the probable causes of the failure of this effort. Conclusions were, therefore, drawn from the lessons that have been learnt from past misdirections having regard to the highly charged political atmosphere in the country during the period of establishment. |
