LG AUTONOMY IN NIGERIA A HISTORICAL PERAPECTIVE
INTRODUCTION

The aim of this paper is to examine the nature

ofomy, the Local Government auton its strength

and inherent contradictions in achieving the

objectives of local government system in Nigeria.

In doing this, it will be relevant to engage in a bit

of theorizing and conceptualization of the terms

local government and autonomy from different

view points. This will enable us generate a greater

power of analysis, as we observe that most of

the handed down tools, models, theories and

approaches from the West are of little utility to

the changing conditions of developing democracies.

This exercise will not in any way assume to

have exhausted all the various definitions given

by scholars and leading practitioners as to what

local government and autonomy connote. But

our choice of definition will be those that are of

relevance to the contemporary Nigerian local

government system.

At this point, it is conceived that any serious

discussion on the present local government autonomy

has to touch on our socio-economic and

political circumstances. Thus our values, sentiments

and prejudices could not escape intruding

as we make the premise as well as suggest

measures for transforming Nigerian local

government system.
