THE IMPACT OF POOR
REVENUE GENERATION ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS (A CASE STUDY
OF UHUMWONDE LOCAL GOVERNMENT, EDO STATE)
ABSTRACT
Revenue generation is the nucleus and the path to modern
development. Thus, the study was to assess the impact of poor revenue
generation on the development of Local Government Areas. This is because local
government in 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.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF
THE STUDY
Development is a sine qua non for modern civilization. In a
crusade and struggle to carryout development at all nooks and crannies of the
society, the local government as the tier of government and nearest to the
people is saddled with the responsibility of direct development of the people
to a certain level.
Development is highly associated with fund, much revenue is
needed to plan, execute and maintain infrastructures and facilities at the
local government level. The needed revenue generated for such developmental
projects. Like construction of accessible roads, building of public schools,
health care centers, construction of bridges among others are soles generated
from taxes, royalties, haulages, fines and grants from states, national and
international governments.
Thus, the Local government cannot embark, execute and
possibly carryout the maintenance of these projects and other responsibilities
without adequate revenue generation.
This is the basic reason why development is skeletal at some
Local Government councils in Nigeria. The issue of poor revenue generation is
not exceptional to local government in Edo State. This has been one of the
problems encountered by Uhumwonde Local Government Area.
This however pronouncedly affected development negatively in
local government councils. In this research project, the issue to address is
how far this poor revenue generation can affect development especially in
Uhumwonde Local Government Area.
1.2 STATEMENT OF
THE PROBLEM
The Local Government Council takes direct care of the
grassroots people in the rural areas. This group of people sometimes lacks
essential facilities and condition of modern civilization. They lack pipe bore
water to drink, do not have electricity, accessible roads, poor educational
infrastructure and facilities to mention but a few.
This is one of the major reasons of rural-urban migration of
movement. This has made our cities to be congested and increase in many
criminal activities. Based on the above and foregoing assertions, it is
obivious that the impact of poor revenue generation on the development of the
rural area is a serious problem. This might be as a result of poor revenue
generation. If Nigeria is to achieve her desired goal of vision 2020 and
possibly meet the millennium development goals (MDGS) target, the issue of
revenue generation must be addressed squarely.
Hence the researcher is bothered to find out the impact of
poor revenue generation on the lives of people at the rural area and how it has
affected development in general especially in Uhumwonde Local Government Area
Area.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF
THE STUDY
The broad objective of the research is to evaluate the impact
created by poor revenue generation on the development of Uhumwonde in Edo
State.
The other
objective of this study includes:
i. To
determine the level of modern social amenities available in Uhumwonde.
ii. To
find out the level of poverty associated with the rural people as a result of
poor development
iii. To
find out the degree of rural-urban migration.
iv. To make useful suggestions to solve
the problem of poor revenue generation as development depends on revenue
generated.
1.4 RESEARCH
QUESTIONS
i. What are the
impacts of poor revenue generation on the development of Uhumwonde?
ii. Are there
adequate modern social amenities in Uhumwonde?
iii. Is
the poverty level of the rural people high has a result of poor development?
iv. Has
poor revenue generation in Uhumwonde contributed to rural-urban migration?
v. How
can revenue generation in Uhumwonde be improved?
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF
THE STUDY
The significance of any human endeavour is measured by its
relevance to solving human problems. The findings of this study would help Uhumwonde
Local Government Area to identify the problems associated with revenue
generation and its consequences on development.
1.6 SCOPE AND
DELIMITATION
The study is focused on the impact of poor revenue generation
and how it affects development of the local government areas. It will also
involve the analysis of problems associated wit revenue generation and its
impact on the development of Uhumwonde Local Government Area.
1.7 LIMITATION OF
THE STUDY
The researcher was constraint by time as time frame for the
submission of this research was short for an expansive research.
The researcher equally encountered financial limitation as
lack of sponsorship from corporate bodies thus; the researcher’s little
resources could not cover more areas.
The willingness of most local government staff to supply the
needed data was another major problem.
