      abstract = {This study analyzes the effects of road infrastructures on the socio-economic development of rural dwellers in Kwara State, Nigeria, using ANOVA and blocking variable model. The study finds that road infrastructures, education level, marital status, and access to education are significant predictors of socio-economic development among rural dwellers in Kwara State. The blocking variable model was used to control for potential confounding variables that may influence the outcomes of the study, ensuring that any observed differences in socio-economic development outcomes between groups are due to the effects of road infrastructure and not due to other factors. The study's findings can inform policy decisions aimed at improving the socio-economic development of rural areas in Kwara State.},
