Abstract
This purpose of this article is to assess the extent and impact of citizen’s participation in policy making at the local government in southwestern Nigeria. The paper is based on survey questionnaire carried out among 210 career officers on GL. 07 and above, and interviews conducted among 18 political functionaries and 27 executive members of some civil society’s in selected local government in southwestern Nigeria. The findings showed that policy making processes in the local governments provided too little for citizen’s participation but howeverc participation had significant impact on policy making in southwestern Nigeria local governments. Therefore, in this case it could be concluded that if more citizen’s participation is encouraged, the southwestern Nigeria and the country would be better for it.
