LOCAL GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION AS A TOOL FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background Of The Study
In the previous years, most communities were very primitive and undeveloped socially, economically, intellectually, physically and in many other aspects of life. Experiences suggest that a community can hardly be developed without the efforts of the members of that community. According to Kenny (2004) who postulated that a community can develop is members of the community come together to discover their needs and works towards its achievement.
A community development might be initiated by the members of the community, and this will involve the efforts of the entire community, Ekpat (2008). He added that the development of a community arises as a result of the imbalance in social amenities such as: health care centre, roads, building of town halls, electricity, water supplies etc. While agricultural methods of community development involve agricultural co-operatives, agricultural extension services etc.
According to Onuoha (2009), who asserted that many community self-helped projects fails to attain its completion due to inefficiency in monitoring and supervision. It is therefore imperative to evaluate community self-help projects adequately in order to identify those factors that may hinder their completion.
Local government is a political authority set up by a nation or state as sub-ordinate authority for the purpose of dispensing or decentralizing political power. Local government is a political sub-division of regional government, aimed to bring community development to the rural dwellers at the grass root. Rural development is nit a new ideology. it is defined as the process by which the effort of the people themselves are not linked with those on government authorities to improved the economic, social and cultural conditions of the rural residence. The role of local government in the promotion of development reforms emphasized that one of the principles objectives of local government is to mobilize human and materials resources through the involvement of members of the public in the promotion of local government. This actually marked the beginning of the use of local government administration s the agents of development in Nigeria.
1.2 Statement of the problem
