“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”. So says the Good Book. Indeed, there is an incredible degree of ignorance in the land as it concerns the statutory functions of the various arms of Government in Nigeria. No wonder we pay so much attention to the Federal and State Government, thus paying little or no attention to the Local Government Council. And in the process, we allow the Local Government Chairmen and Councilors to escape with an incredible degree of incompetence or dereliction of duties. In Nigeria, most Local Governments chairmen are only interested in the aspect of their functions, which will attract revenue to them while they conveniently ignore the responsibilities stipulated under the Fourth Schedule. They also love the display of power but do not appreciate the responsibility that go along with power. Now, here are some roles of the Local Government Council- specifically as it pertains to the transport and allied sector – that is often erroneously ascribed to the State Government and even the Federal Government 1.Licensing of bicycles, trucks (other than mechanically propelled trucks), canoes, wheel barrows and carts. 2.Establishment, maintenance and regulation of Bus stops, Motor Parks. 3.Construction and maintenance of roads, streets, other public highways, parks, open spaces, or such public facilities as may be prescribed from time to time by the House of Assembly of a State. 4.Naming of roads ‘and streets and numbering of houses; 5.Provision and maintenance Of public toilets 6.Public waste management (refuse disposal) 7.Erecting and maintenance of Street lights 8.Regulation of Out-door advertising and hoarding 9.Construction and clearing of drainage 10.Provision and maintenance of public transportation 11.Elimination of destitute, beggars and street urchins from the street. So what exactly do Local Government Councils use their allocations and internally generated revenues for? https://autojosh.com/see-11-functions-of-the-local-government-chairmen-that-might-shock-you/ 34 Likes 11 Shares |

Where on earth do you expect them to get the revenue to execute all that? The governors seize everything and only give them tokens. LG autonomy is the solution. 138 Likes 11 Shares |

The state governors have rendered the council chairmen impotent. Maybe Local Governments should be scrapped altogether. All of the functions listed above are now exclusive functions of state governors. In Ogun State, not long ago, house numbering was contracted out to private firms by the state govt on the excuse that the LGs lack manpower to carry out such project. Why not empower them? In any case Council Chairmen are always lackeys of the governor who saw to their election/selection in the first instance. 28 Likes |

Don't be foolish and start comparing yourself with others. It will rob you of your inner peace and you’ll find yourself heading down the slippery road of envy and jealousy. The truth is you’re unique. The Almighty created you to do things that no one else was created to do! 10 Likes 1 Share |

What they do most that I know? 1) Issue tickets to okada people and people pushing wheel barrow 2) Collecting money from people selling from road side at bus-stops. 3) Local government chairman coming to office mostly end of the month to distribute allocation. 4) patching small potholes on small streets after which they pick aso-ebi to commission the road that was patch. 5) distributing bowl of un-cooked rice gotten from party headquarter to party members with N500 for stew. 6) issuing tickets for TV/radio permit. 13 Likes |
