THE IMPACT OF POOR REVENUE GENERATING AND DEVELOPMENT IN ENUGU NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, ENUGU STATE – NIGERIA 2015-2023
Abstract
Revenue generation is the nucleus and the path to modem development. Thus, the
study was to assess the impact of poor revenue generation on the development of
Enugu North Local Government Areas. This is because local government as the third
tier of government and the closest to the people especially in the rural areas needed
revenue to provide basic social amenities to the people. But it is unfortunate to note
that the local government management have not lived up to expectation especially
to provide basic social amenities to the rural people. Thus, the objective of the
research was to analyze the extent to which poor revenue generation had affected
the development of those areas. The researcher used primary and secondary methods
of data collection to generate the needed data. The data obtained through
questionnaire was presented in tables and expressed in simple percentages. The
following were some of the findings which included poor development of the areas,
lack of basic social amenities to the rural people and lack of revenue to maintain the
existing infrastructures. The researcher therefore recommended that the local
government should provide basic amenities of high quality. By doing so, the people's
interest would be geared towards giving their maximum support to the local
government which would lead to the development of the rural area.
