Abstract
Local governments in Nigeria
are faced with many difficulties in generating adequate finance to
perform their constitutional responsibilities; such problems are a cog
in the wheel to the smooth running of local government administration. These challenges include dishonesty on the part of officer collecting the revenues, such as cases of printing receipts by the officers. This development has hampered the operations of Njikoka local government area of Anambra state. This study therefore examines problems and prospects of revenue generation in Nigerian
local government system, with focus on Njikoka local government area of
Anambra state. The study is a qualitative descriptive analysis, while data collection was effected through the secondary sources. Systems theory served as theoretical framework of
analysis. The findings reveal that despite external and internal sources
of revenue to Njikoka local government, corruption and poor governance,
public cynicism, lack of qualified revenue collectors and lack of
financial autonomy undermine revenue collection. It also demonstrates
enlightenment and motivation of revenue collectors are measures to
enhance the prospects of revenue collection in the local government. It
therefore recommends honest and credible leadership as a panacea for
revenue shortfalls in Njikoka local government.
