dc.description.abstractAmong the motives for creating Local Governments is to promote democracy and bring government closer to the grassroots communities. Several efforts have been made to improve grassroots development, however studies shows the contrary, grassroots people in Nigeria are the most downtrodden citizens and with difficult access to infrastructural facilities. While there are several studies on Local Government and Development, we know little about how Democracy in Nigeria improves grassroots development. The study utilizes secondary source of data. Findings of the study indicate that though democracy has been entrenched in Nigeria, but the perceived benefits of democracy are yet to be seen at the grassroots level due to mismanagement, corruption and inadequate autonomy. The study recommended the need to enhance LG autonomy, transparency and accountability in the management of public funds.
