Local Governance and Rural Development in IFELOJU LCDA of Oyo State
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2019, Vol 24, Issue 1
Abstract
Local government serves as an instrument for rapid actualization of even development at the grassroots. It guarantees commitment to common cause which makes possible the mobilization of natives for the realization of desirable rural progress. It is in recognition of this that the paper examines the justification for the creation of LCDAs in Oyo state taking cognizance of administrative efficiency and economic viability. A sample of 120 people was chosen at random from three main areas in Ogbooro. Relying on empirical method of analysis, self-designed questionnaire was administered to collect data just as Chi-square test was employed to analyse and interpret data. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of local councils to mobilize resources for local development was minimal. This situation makes the respondents wonder how the state government can financially sustain the newly created ones when the existing LGs are being starved of funds. Based on this, the paper recommends that only viable states with abundant resources should be allowed to create LCDAs, good measure of autonomy and substantial powers to LCDAs, effective mobilization of local resources, and adequate supervision of LCDA for effective performance.
