Local Government

Local government may be viewed from two perspectives: As a process, local government refers to that organization which promotes the welfare and well-being of the people at the grass-root. To Bello-Iman (1996) local government refers to "that unit of administration with defined territory and powers as well as administrative authority with relative autonomy". This definition emphasizes the structural autonomy of local government in the areas of power and authority. It underscores the fact that local government in the context of the country's federal system is not a subordinate unit of the state ' and federal 143 governments. This clarification becomes necessary because the United Nations, following the practice of local government systems in some unitary states, defines local government as: A political sub-division of a nation (or, in a federal system) a state which is constituted by law and her substantial control of local affairs including the power to impose taxes, or exact labor for prescribed purposes.
