Abstract

Nigeriaâ€™s population of over 150 million has its imbedded problem of unemployment caused by mismanagement of available resources distributed to the local governments for development. If the allocations given to local governments are well utilized to provide infrastructure, unemployment will be drastically reduced. This paper surveyed the effect of awareness of local governmentsâ€™ income by the citizens on local governmentsâ€™ functionaries. Thirteen randomly selected local governments from one of the Nigerian states were surveyed with the use of questionnaire. Over 1800 citizens were surveyed and 95% responded. Data collected were analyzed and reported in discrete figures and percentages, and presented in tables and graphs. It was discovered that the knowledge of local governmentsâ€™ income by the citizens could induce the local governmentsâ€™ workers to utilize the funds to provide necessary infrastructure for development. The paper recommended that the authorities concerned should promulgate laws mandating local governments to disseminate information about their income to the citizens since this prompts effective use of such funds.
