Abstract

[Nigeria is federal system with three layers or tiers of government. The local government councils occupy the lowest place in the structure. The local government has gone through series of transformations to make its operations modern, efficient and productive. However, despite all efforts at making local governance efficient, the system has been incapable of achieving the goals of establishing it. The blame is partly attributed to the under interference of the state government which very often turn local government to a more or less `another ministry’ that must be controlled for it’s own good to the detriment of local administration and the people at the grassroots.]
