| Abstract: | The extent to which diverse natural resources of any region are harnessed determines the economic development of the region. This research therefore examined the variation in regional development potentials of towns along major inland water ways of Nigeria with a view to harnessing them. The objectives of the study were to: (i) identify the regional development potentials of towns along major inland water ways of Nigeria, (ii) determine the variations in regional development potentials of towns along major inland water ways of Nigeria. The research hypothesis include: there is no significant variation in the regional development potentials of towns along major inland water ways of Nigeria Survey research design method was employed in this study. Data used in this study were collected from both secondary and primary sources. The research-developed questionnaire was validated by a statistician and three lecturers who were all experts in the field. The questions were structured using 5-point likert scale. Reliability of the test instrument was determined using Cranach Alpha which yielded a correlation co-efficient of 0.95. A pilot survey was carried out to test the clarity of the questions on the questionnaire. Principle component analysis (PCA) was used to significantly identify and classify the regional development potentials of towns along major inland water ways of Nigeria. PCA was used to transform the original variables on the regional development potentials of towns along major inland water ways of Nigeria into a more manageable number prior to using Analysis of variance (ANOVA). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 significant level. The regional development potentials of Akassa (Brass town) in Bayelsa state are usefulness of river water, economic prospect of river water, natural deposits and tourism and recreation. The regional development potentials of Warri in Delta state are usefulness of river water, economic prospect of river water, natural deposits, aquaculture and tourism and recreation. The regional development potentials of Onitsha in Anambra state are usefulness of river water, economic prospect of river water, natural deposits, tourism and recreation and aquaculture. The regional development potentials of Lokoja in Kogi state are usefulness of river water, economic prospect of river water, natural deposits and aquaculture. The regional development potentials of Makurdi in Benue State are usefulness of river water, economic prospect of river water, natural deposits, tourism and recreation and aquaculture. The regional development potentials of Baro (Agaie town) are usefulness of river water, economic prospect of river water, natural deposits, tourism and recreation and aquaculture. There was no significant variation (p>0.05) in regional development potentials of towns along major inland water ways of Nigeria at 0.05 significant level. The general implication of this outcome could be explained that towns along major inland water ways of Nigeria have huge potentials for regional development that is homogeneous in nature. Based on the research findings, the study recommended that regional planning should enjoy the same recognition and impetus as economic development planning in Nigeria. |
