1.6 Scope of study
The research is limited to Adazi-Nnukwu in Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The
choice of the place has to do with the fact that its population is
predominately rural based, and with that the role of the town crier will
be properly examined in the area.
1.7 Significance of the study
It
is accepted that 80% of Nigerians population are rurally based. So for
effective communication to take place rural dwellers need to be reached
or visited in their living places.
Theoretically, the study will help to create awareness on the need for the town crier in rural settlements.
Also
the study will go a long way to benefit many academics and the
government on the role of the town crier as few works have been done on
the subject. It will also increase the level of perception, attitudes,
beliefs and knowledge of the public especially in Adazi-Nnukwu on the
services of the town crier in mobilizing them for development.
Again, this study will draw the attention of government to empower town criers all over the nation.
And
finally the study will be beneficial of the both town criers and rural
dwellers because it will pin point how helpful the town crier is in
every community.
