Description
This research reports a comparative
study on revenue management at the Local
government level with focus on Local councils
of Ogun and Lagos States.
Survey and the historical methods
were adopted to generate the data used to
investigate the research problems. The
respondents comprised of 400 people made -
up ·of 100 staff of both Ado - Odo/Ota and
Ali,:wsho Local Councils of Ogun and Lagos
States as well as 300 residents of both Local
Councils.
Hypotheses tested showed the
following results:
1. That the level of infrastructural
development on ground in these Local
Councils did not measure up to the
amount of revenue available to them.
2. That proper revenue management has not
taken place at the Local Government level
of the two States.
3. That Local Government Councils are
instruments of grass - root
development.
