INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Every local jurisdiction has its unique economic, social and physical characteristics and its historical tradition which are better understood by its people. Thus, the Local Government Areas are created to provide the services which the federal and state governments cannot easily undertake due to their remoteness from the Local communities (Tonwe 2007). Therefore, the concept of local government is to bring governance closer to the people at the grass roots, with the aim of caring for the socio-economic and development needs of local populace (Adedokun, 2013).
Over the years, it has been observed that massive rural-urban migration and over-congestion are heating up lives in the cities. Others have contended that local governments are docile in terms of aggressive revenue generation or collection to argument allocations from the federation account which they get on monthly basis. Yet, others hinged local governments abysmal revenue generation on dishonesty on the part of council revenue collectors, who, in most cases, misappropriate collections made on behalf of the council, (Ibhawaeghele, 2012)
