This is a very serious issue true developments starts and begins at the grassroots-this is where gov. in all ties present are felt.

I do agree that local governments are important. However, the system had been corrupted, prior to 1979, the local government council were where capable townspeople debated on development plans for the town etc. It was a stepping stone to further political advancement through endearment to the town folks. But today, the powers(funds in Nigerian language) are curtailed by the governors, the workers are stale, incompetent, and the councillors and chairmnen are selected by the governor or godfather not by the town folks and in the states where there is election, it is still the same.Basically, in my area, the governor withholds majority of funds for capital project, the council is there basically to pay salary and do some small projects, but for some major projects, it needs the consent of the governor.

Local Government seems to be more corrupt and secret in their activities becos the focus on them is minimal.

slimming: Local Government seems to be more corrupt and secret in their activities becos the focus on them is minimal.

The point is that 80% of all the local government in Nigeria stagnated to corruption by their state governors.

I think it's not yet time to classified the performance of any local government. This is because most of them are dancing to the tune of their piper-the Governors failure of which they'll lose their position.

The facts here's that we have more rural areas'if i'm correct''then urban and if nigeria/ns must felt the present of Gov.in all ramifications it starts here.Proffering solution,I think people of the rurals should be made to deliberate on who serves them
selectively or decisively.GOD help dis naija o

Which LG does Ikoyi fall into?they started road works @ strategic places especially " Glover, lugard" axis.

Nice. . .if it'll be completed.

Local Governments died since 1999.I don't know what killed it.

Those Chairmen are just sharing money doing NOTHING! Like governor, like Chairman.

Should state Gov. now be blamed for the failure of LG?or should we now affilliate the curruption of state to LG?,who's really fooling who?

O GA O..
