Established as the third tier of government, local governments are intended to address community-specific needs, yet they face challenges such as financial dependency on federal allocations, political interference, and inadequate human resources and infrastructure. These issues have hampered their ability to deliver essential services like healthcare, education, and infrastructure, especially in rural areas where basic amenities are lacking. The study, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methods, highlights how these inefficiencies exacerbate the development gap between urban and rural communities, contributing to poverty and social inequality. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for targeted reforms to address these systemic weaknesses. To improve effectiveness, the study recommends enhancing financial autonomy, reducing political interference, investing in capacity building, and ensuring better transparency and accountability. Implementing these measures could significantly strengthen local government's role in promoting sustainable community development across Nigeria and bridge the existing developmental disparities. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Public Administration project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of industrial conflict on the performance of workers in the government parastatal (a case study of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)»Human resources as a catalyst for economic growth and development in Nigeria (a case study of Abuja municipal area council) »The influence of effective personnel management practice in organization performance»Local government financial autonomy and grass root development in Nigeria (a case study of Afikpo north local government area)»Manpower training and development as a tool for effective performance in public sector in Nigeria»The impact of poor revenue generation on the development of Local Government Areas»Enhancing political stability in Nigeria through good governance ( a case study of Abia state)»Niger-Delta crisis and its impact on socio-economic development in Nigeria»Effects of delayed payment of lecturers salaries and wages on students performance»Bureaucracy and efficiency (a case study of Enugu state civil service)»Political instability a major hindrance to effective policy implementation and good governance (a case study of Nigeria 1983 -1999)»Fuel subsidy removal and the Nigerian economy (a case study of Abakiliki local government area, Ebonyi state) »Accountability and corruption in local government in Nigeria (Case study of Bonny local government area of Rivers state)»Impact of collective bargaining techniques on industrial relations practice (a case study of two selected firms from NUPENG and NUBIFE)»The influence of employee behaviour on the internal audit function of an organization (a case study of P.Z. industries plc Aba)
