1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The ineffectiveness of the local
government system in Nigeria stems from the socio-economic structure of
the society which natures an urban – oriented development strategy is
hailed by foreign experts who have on numerous occasions advised our
leaders and who still do so. As previous researchers rightly pointed
out, to asset that the lock off attention to the rural sector has been
merely because of the short sightedness of Africa leaders would be to
overdose the urban and industrial bias of the majority of foreign
economists and technicians who have advised African governments and
institutions over the past decrees. Moreover, the neglect of rural
areas stems mainly from the fact that modern African political leaders
are creatures of the tours. In the light of the above, the researcher is
examining local government administration as an instrument of
grassroots development in Nigeria.
