Abstract
This research focussed on financial administration of Local governments using Lavun Local government Area in Niger State as a case study . Hie study dealt with the control measures of the available revenue at the disposal of the Local government and how their pattern of expenditure affect the general development of the rural areas. The level of financial management or mis-management in any organization can reasonably be assessed through the control systems adopted in: (a) The effective collection of all its cspected incomes and (b) The prudent use of the resources. Any defects in cither of these fields are bound to bring about a high a degree of failure in the pursuit of the organization to achieve its set objectives, be it a service-oriented or a profit-making venture. This study additionally revealed truelly the over dependence of the Local Governments on the central Government to meet their ever-increasing development needs at the grassroots levels. On the area of staff productivity that would have enhanced higher generation of locallysourccd revenue, lack of adequate incentives seemed to have plagued this. The study also revealed a high level of discontent on the physical developments achieved at the grass-roots levels. Finally, where lapses were identified, the researcher has attempted to offer suggestions on how the Local governments should work towards meeting the development expectations of the rural masses.
