LOCAL GOVERNMENT FINANCE AND UNDER UTILIZATION OF FUNDS IN NIGERIA (WARRI-NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCIL AS A CASE STUDY)

 

CHAPTER ONE


INTRODUCTION 

1.1A BRIEF HISTORY OF WARRI-NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA 

The Warry North Local Government Area has its administrative headquarters at Koko. It came into existence following the federal government creation of more local governments in September 1991. When the defunct Warri local government was divided into Warri South and Warri North local government areas.

The local government has a population of about 186,426 as reported in the 2007 census carried out by the federal government. It is bounded on the north by Ovia south and Oredo local government areas, on the east by the Ethiope west local government area and on the west by the Ilaje and Ese-Odo local government in Ondo state.

Apart from the fact that the area is a rural setting, all other towns and villages within it except Koko and Ajabodudun are accessible only by the means of river transportation. In other words, the local government is not only rural but also riverine. 

The above therefore, call for government’s intervention in providing basic amenities such as health facilities, electricity, provision of portable water, jetties, etc to bring the much-needed relief to the various communities.

The local government is made up of mainly the Itsekiris and the Ijaws. The Warri traditional council in which the Olu of Warri serve as the chairman of the council. The Itsekiris, popularly called Iwere, are one people, having one language, one kingdom and the same law and custom. They are generally formed just a little above the medium stature and of a light complexion. The tribal mark for both men and women are usually; three small cuts on each side of the face just below the eyes, this is called Ilaju.

They are tastefully dressed. The men dress in a long sleeve silk or lace material and a judge or other fine quality wrapper which they tie round their waist down to their feet with fine quality pair of shoes to match. They top this with a hat, trinket or coral beads round their neck and also a walking stick. While the women dress with lace or other fine material blouse, a pair of wrapper mostly judge, head-tie, trinkets or coral beads and a pair of shoe to match also.

The Itsekiris have such cultural festival as Olu of Warri coronation yearly (Oye Ekoro), the Oreomi or river goddess in every three years in Koko, the Company or Masquerade festival also in Koko and the Okere juju festival each year in Warri.

They also have different cultural dances like, the Alala, Omoko, Eguen etc which involve the male and female folks. The Abeli is just for the male folks and the Alala for the female folks. The Itsekiris are good natural people whose standard of courtesy in everyday life is high.

1.2THE STUDY SETTING 

A major cause of slow and poor development in Nigeria has been the neglect of the rural areas by successive administrations. A good number of Nigerians (seventy-five percent) live in the rural areas, and are hardly included in the scheme of development.

The decision made by the Armed Forces Ruling Council (A.F.R.C) under General Babandiga’s administration was a confirmation of the Federal Government commitment to the development of the rural areas in Nigeria. this commitment gives rise to the raising of fund to the local government level. for example, the Directorate for Food and Rural Infrastructure (D.F.R.I), and Better Life for Rural Dwellers programme were initiated.

In the same vein, the local government council are now granted about seventy-five percent (75%) of the Federation Account as against sixty-five percent (65%). These bold attempts by the Federal Government are to promote development at the grassroots level so as to ensure funds are available for the development of the rural areas. The Federal Government pays the said twenty-five percent grant directly into the local government Federation Account. However it has been observed that some of the local government councils have failed to utilize the funds met to carry out expected developmental projects in their areas jurisdiction.
