INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The local government, were created so as to enable the central government (federal government) exercise effective.

Hence, among the effective role of the local government (Kachia local government) is the provision of two way communication channel between the ltolas communities and the central government through the mobilization of human and material resources at the grass root.

The implication of the above is that the concept of rural as well as national development on effective local government leaderships and administration for its success (Ngwu 1980)

It also, implies that effective local government is required for the planning, preparation and submission of the proposal for funding and initiation of any meaningful development project in Nigeria, this goes a long way to validate the assertion made by Agu (2001) that effective and efficient leadership and administration of the local government is required for the sustenance and utilization of development project in any nation. Hence the studies of Ezike (1998:45) and Hassan (1999:66) revealed that effective implement of development project are contingent on strong leadership of the local government area, particular at the planning stage.

In rural as well as national development, the understanding of the local power structure is capable of enhancing or impeding the implementation of development project.

Kachia local government was vastly affected by this zero allocation epidemic and this affected a great number of developmental activities including the payment of its staff. Consequently, the available fund was not appropriately used due to the frustrating effort of the local government authority effort of the local government authority which was as a result of mismanagement.

The local government in some cases suffer from over-staffing to the extent that most of its recourses are spent on the payment of staff salaries.
