ABSTRACT
Local government in Nigeria being the third
tier of governance in the nations administrative set up is faced with a wide
range of responsibilities for local service delivery and the promotion of
sustainable development. For the achievement of the objectives of its creation,
a local government must be funded to taste from external and internal sources.
Hence the essence of effective and efficient revenue and fund generation can
never be overemphasized in the life of the organization. This work sets out to
harness the sources of funding available to the organization and the functional
area covered by the authority. This work reviewed the general nature of local
government based on their policy of creation with attention to diverse view
held by erudite scholars about their operational performances. Finally, it
tested the effectiveness and efficiency of revenue generation in the
organization with a follow up recommendations. i) That the local government as
the third tier of governance in the Nigeria Federal structure has a good number
of responsibilities to carry out. And to implement these functions it has to be
in control of enough funds. ii) The poor performance of the local government
has always been attributed to deficiency of fund in spite of the broad spectrum
revenue generation operational areas.
