In order to improve the values, the potential of rural resources must be fully realized. Only with the application of additional resources, such as time, money, infrastructure, knowledge, and the like, can these values be realized. The high demand for goods is anticipated to drive the use of the aforementioned resources to their fullest potential, raising the rural environment's value and proving that value is a function of profit. Regretfully, the requirement for balance between rural and urban development has not been reflected in government policies and activities throughout the last year. As a result, the majority of development programs and policies are focused on cities. Rural residents have consequently experienced economic and social flaws, unemployment, poverty, and inadequate infrastructure. By the way, those who live in rural areas continue to migrate. Thus, the critical needs influencing rural development in Gwagwalada Area Council, Abuja, Nigeria, are evaluated in this study. Results In order to reduce the rate of ruralurban migration in Nigeria generally and in Gwagwalada specifically, an integrated rural development strategy has been identified and suggested based on the data analysis.
