AN ASSESSMENT OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION IN KWARA STATE: A STUDY OF BARUTEN AND ILORIN WEST LOCAL GOVERNMENTS (1999-2007) ADAMU,

ABSTRACT

Local government is a body crated by law to provide a specified range of services to the

local people because of the difficulty by the state to administered successful all her

functions through the central organ. “After decades of the creation of local governments

in Nigeria and the reforms they undergone, the development profile of our local

communities remain woeful” inspite of the funds they received from both federal and

state government over the years. Using Baruten and Ilorin West Local Governments as

case studies, this research study assess Local Government Administration in Kwara State.

The essence of the research was to find out why there has been low grassroots

development in Kwara and to proffer solution to this perennial issue. Based on this, the

study has three objectives to determine which are as follows: whether or not the

statutory allocation of Baruten and Ilorin West Local Governments is adequate for the

development of the areas, to find out whether or not the funds allocated are utilised in

ensuring development of these local governments, and to also find out whether or not

there are other factors militating against development of both Baruten and Ilorin West

Local Governments in Kwara State. The scope of the study covers the period of 1999 –

2007 being a period of democratic government. Data for the study was generated from

both primary and secondary sources. The instruments used for primary data include

interview and questionnaire while secondary sources include, books, articles, unpublished

materials and so on.

Based on the formulated hypotheses which says that, the amount of statutory allocation

received by Baruten and Ilorin West Local Governments does not affect their

developmental performance, and that interference of Kwara State government in the

activities of Baruten and Ilorin West Local Governments has positively affects their

performance we analysed data generated using tables, simple percentage and chi-square

as statistical tools. And therefore the study reveals that, the amount of statutory

allocation received by Baruten and Ilorin West Local Governments affects their

developmental performance, that Baruten and Ilorin West Local Governments must seek

for approval from the Kwara state government before embarking on any capital project,

besides, that, the Kwara state government does not remit, the ten percent (10%) of her

Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) to Baruten and Ilorin West local Governments and

also that the operation of joint account among the local governments in Kwara state has

hindered Baruten and Ilorin West Local Governments from meeting the yearning of the

people at the grassroots.

Inline with the above findings, we recommended that tax base and financial allocation of

Baruten and Ilorin West Local Governments should be increased and Baruten and Ilorin

West Local Governments should also judiciously make use of the available fund. Baruten

and Ilorin West Local Governments should be given freedom in carrying out their

constitutional functions, autonomy to embark on viable projects and federal government

should ensure that, state governments comply with the 10% remittance of her Internally

Generated Revenue (IGR) to Local Governments and finally, federal government

allocation to local governments should be direct funding from the Federal Government to

Local Government’s Accounts.
