Local government is faced with varieties of difficulties to source adequate revenue from federal government, state government and internally generated revenue; such problems are cogwheel to the smooth running of local government administration. Thus, the objective of the research was to analyze the extent to which revenue generation had affected the development of the selected local Governments. The researcher used both primary and secondary methods of data collection to generate the needed data. The data obtained through secondary data were analyzed using simple least square regression method (spss version17). The following were some of the findings which included the following; there is a significant relationship between revenue generated and developmental effort of government, 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?

\section[{Introduction a) Background to the Study}]{Introduction a) Background to the Study}\par
Revenue generation in Nigeria local governments is principally derived from tax. Tax is a compulsory levy imposed by government on individuals and companies for the various legitimate function of the state  {\ref (Olaoye, 2008)}. Tax is a necessary ingredient for civilization. The history of man has shown that man has to pay tax in one form or the other that is either in cash or in kind, initially to his chieftain and later on a form of organized government . No system or rules can be effective whether foreign or nature unless it enjoys some measures of financial independence.\par
Local governments in Nigeria have developed over a number of years. Historically, the development of direct taxation in local government in Nigeria can be traced the British pre-colonial period Under this period, community taxes were levied on communities \hyperref[b62]{(Rabiu, 2004)} recently the revenue that accrues to local government is derived from two broad sources, viz the external sources and the internal source An effective Local Government system rests majorly on the availability of human and material resources which the nation could mobilize and harness for local governments development. In 1976, the Federal Military Government then issued guidelines on local governments reforms. The reforms which gave recognition to local governments as the third tier of government whereby government activities at the local level were taken care of. In 1988, another reform of local government was established. This gave a substantial and unprecedented reform of autonomy to the local governments in the country. With this autonomy, greater responsibilities devolved on the local government therefore, became a common knowledge that most of the local government are finding it difficult to cope with the present level of responsibilities. The principal aims of creating local governments were as follows: 1. To serve as the third tier of government through which appropriate services and development are made in response to the wishes of local community through their representatives. 2. To serve as an intermediary between government at the center and local communities. 3. To mobilize and utilize both human and material resources by engaging the people at the local level in the government activities. 4. To facilitate the exercise of democratic selfgovernment closer to the grass root of the society and to exchange initiative and leadership potential.\par
Mostly, all local governments in Nigeria do no longer perform their responsibilities simply because of poor finances arises from adequate revenue generation drive. The bad financial situation is further aggravated by the prevailing inflationary situation in this country which erodes the value of funds available to render essential social services to the people. 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 sources 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 generation is not exceptional to Kogi East Senatorial District. This has been one of the problems encountered by Local Government in Kogi State. 
\section[{b) Statement of the Problem}]{b) Statement of the Problem}\par
The local government is faced with myriads of problems ranging from corruption and embezzlement, poor financing, mismanagement of funds to poor leadership. This has deterred the development of local government in Nigeria. The major issues are; what has contributed to the non-performance; is it because of total dependence on federal and state statutory allocation? Is it as a result of poor internally generated revenue drive? Is it because of ineffective utilization of available scarce resources or mismanagement by public office holder? Among others, certain percentage of the statutory allocation has always been deducted by the state government thereby causing the local government to underperform which includes; i. Dilapidated infrastructural facilities ii. Unavailability of social services to rural populace. iii. Underdevelopment of local communities.\par
Based on the above stated problems, it has become necessary to conduct an analysis on revenue generation in the Kogi East Senatorial District, Kogi State. 
\section[{c) Objectives of the Study}]{c) Objectives of the Study}\par
The broad objective of this research is to evaluate the relationship between the total revenue generation by the local government and rural development. 
\section[{The specific objectives are;}]{The specific objectives are;}\par
? To examine the relationship between statutory allocation to the local government and government developed effort. From the outlook, there is need for the local government to improve their performance. However, the research is significantly considering the closeness of local government to the grassroots' people and the need to utilize substantial revenue for its various sources in addition to federal and state statutory allocation for developmental purpose. The study will help to identifying some means of generating revenue that has been neglected over years. It will also be beneficial to the grassroots because improved revenue generation means improved standard of living in form of provision of social amenities such as road, hospital, park, drinkable water, rural electrification etc. The study will be educative as it will be a reference point for researchers. 
\section[{e) Research Hypotheses}]{e) Research Hypotheses}\par
A hypothesis is a theoretical conceptualization or an idea or guest regarding how researcher thinks the result of his study will look. It consists of a set of assumptions accepted previously as a basis of investigation. It is a proposition that is yet to be tested for its validity. For the purpose of this research study, four null hypotheses were formulated.\par
? H0 1 : There is no significant relationship between statutory allocation to the Local Government and developmental effort.  
\section[{f) Scope of the Study}]{f) Scope of the Study}\par
The study would appraise the revenue generation for the period of five years (2006-2010) in three local governments in the Kogi East Senatorial District. The research is intended to be carried out using secondary data. Secondary data will be obtained from the monthly allocation from the office of Accountant General of Kogi State. 
\section[{g) Limitation of the Study}]{g) Limitation of the Study}\par
This study has some limitations most especially in the area of data collection which is to be covered and has time duration of five years (i.e. 2006-2010). Financial constraints as well as time available for the completion of the study are among other factors that would limit the scope of the study. 
\section[{h) Operational Definition of Terms}]{h) Operational Definition of Terms}\par
Some concepts require proper explanations to enhance our understanding of the theme where necessary opinion of scholars will be cited to explain the terms. The researcher will also give some fundamental definition of terms. 
\section[{i. Local Government}]{i. Local Government}\par
According to  {\ref Lawal (2000)} Local Government as a political sub-division of a nation in Federal system which is constituted by law and has substantial control of local affairs which includes the power to impose taxes or exact labor for prescribed purpose. According to William Robson (2006) Defined Local Government as involving the conception of territorial, non-sovereign community possessing the legal right and the necessary organization to regulate its own affairs.\par
ii. Revenue Public revenue could be defined as the funds generated by the government to finance its activities. In other words revenue is the total fund generated by government (Federal, state, local government/ to meet their expenditure for a fiscal year. This refers also to the grand total of money of income received from the source of which expenses are incurred. Revenue could be internal or external revenue.\par
iii. Generation This is the process of sourcing revenue for the local government in carryout their aim and objectives. iv. Expenditure Public expenditure refers to the expenses which the government incurs for its own maintenance, in the interest of the society and the economy in order to help other countries. 
\section[{v. Tax}]{v. Tax}\par
Tax can be defined as a compulsory levy by government on goods, services, income and wealth. It provides definite source of revenue for government expenditure. (Udeh 2008). It is the way by which government obtain extra money. It spent from income of individual and companies. Tax could be direct or indirect tax. A tax is a payment made by the taxpayers and used by the government for the benefits of all the citizens. 
\section[{vi. Tax Evasion}]{vi. Tax Evasion}\par
Tax evasion means illegal reduction in one's tax liabilities, thereby paying less than the appropriate amounts and not paying at all. vii. Tax Avoidance Tax avoidance is the act of streamlining one's financial affairs within the law so as to minimize the tax liabilities. 
\section[{viii. Development}]{viii. Development}\par
According to Ake (2001) Development is thus the process by which people create and recreate themselves and their life circumstances to realize higher levels of civilization in accordance with their own choice and values. It also a type of social change in which new ideas are introduces into a social in order to produce higher per-capital income and levels of living through more modern production methods and improved social organization.\par
describe fixed asset as an asset which is expected to last more than one year and it is for future benefit, the current asset as it is defined by Etuk-udo (1973) means those assets that last for less than a year and can be converted to cash immediately.\par
The Longman dictionary of contemporary English (1995), defined revenue as money that a business or an organization receives over a period of time especially from selling goods or services. It also described revenue as money that government received from tax.\par
Advance learning dictionary of current English (1992), defined revenue as the total annual income of the state collected for public use. It further described it as income, derived from taxation. \hyperref[b14]{Oladimeji (1985)}, described revenue as the total income generated from federal, state and local government. He stated further that what makes local government as constitutional matters is the revenue sharing perspectives. \hyperref[b39]{Hepworth (1976)} described revenue as an income or funds raised to meet the expenditure. He added further that revenue is a raising resources needed to provide government services. He also stated that there are two aspect of finance -Income and Expenditure. In other words, the sources of fund and utilization. \hyperref[b36]{Fayemi (1991)} defined revenue as all tools of income to government such as taxes, rates, fees, fines, duties, penalties, rents, dues, proceeds and other receipt of government to which the legislature has the power of appropriation. He further classified government revenue into two kinds -recurrent revenue and capital revenue. 
\section[{b) Theoretical Framework}]{b) Theoretical Framework}\par
Local government system in Nigeria needs a moderate amount of financial autonomy to be able to discharge its responsibilities effectively. Public revenue in a federal system assumes that there are benefits to be derived from decentralization. Public revenue decentralization occurs when lower tiers of government have statutory power to raise taxes and carry out spending activities within specified legal criteria. This is referred to as the Overlapping Authority Model propounded by  {\ref Wright (1978)} on Intergovernmental relationships. Public revenue decentralization occurs when much of the money is raised centrally but part of it is allocated to lower levels of government through some revenue-sharing formula otherwise known as administrative decentralization. 
\section[{Literature Review a) Introduction}]{Literature Review a) Introduction}\par
Etuk-udo (1973), defined revenue as an income from both the fixed asset and current asset. He further The main reason for decentralization is anchored on allocation sharing or efficiency grounds so it is possible to advance argument for decentralization in Nigeria where there are many ethnic groups. Oates (1993) contends that "there are surely reasons, in principle to believe that policies formulated for the provision of infrastructure and even human capital that A are sensitive to regional of local conditions are likely to be more effective in encouraging economic development than centrally determined policies that ignore these geographical differences" There is a great relationship between decentralization and economic growth and behaviour for economic fundamentals within the decentralized jurisdiction is a matter that remains an empirical issue and discussions must be country specific.  {\ref Kim (1995)} quoted in Oates (1996) has shown that in his mode of explaining rates of economic growth, revenue decentralization that are positive and statistical significant change, using a sample of countries. His results also shows that, other things being equal, more public revenue decentralization was associated with more rapid growth in GDP per capita during 1974-1989 period. Prud'homme (1995) on the other hand, argues that decentralization can increase disparities jeopardize stability, undermine efficiency and encourage corruption. He maintains that local authorities, for example, have few incentives to undertake economic stabilization policies. The instrument of monetary and public revenue policies are better handled by the central government. Oates (1993) opines a contrary view that the principles of centralization is costly because it leads the government to provide public goods that diverge from the preferences of the citizens in particular areas (regions, provinces, states, local governments). He also argues that "when these preferences vary among geographical area, a uniform package chosen by a nation's government is likely to force some localities to consume more of less than they would like to consume.\par
According to Tanzi (1995) the interpretation of both Oates and Prud'homme assumes that subnational government levels already exist, hence the crucial problem becomes which of the existing government levels ought to be responsible for particular forms of spending. The function of government can be divided into three-allocation, distribution and stabilization function (Musgrave 1959). Using this stratification, stabilization and distribution functions are expected to be under the peripheri of the central government while lower government undertakes allocative functions. Hence, any spending and taxing decisions that will affect the rate of inflation, level of unemployment, etc. are better handled at the centre, while other activities that will affect social welfare are more efficient if undertaken by sub national governments. Theoretically, the scope of benefit is the basis for allocating responsibilities governments. Public goods and services delivery, be assigned to lower levels of government. Vincent (2001), Studies on tax and public revenue mobilization in Nigeria have shown a high degree of centralization. According to \hyperref[b63]{Emenuga (1993)}, the allocation of revenue to the tiers of government has no adhere strictly to the expenditure requirements of each tier, thus the federal government has become a surplusspending unit while other functions, he proposes the determination of a tier's share through the aggregation of its basic expenditure needs. To reduce the gap between tax power ad responsibilities, two types of revenue sources are allocated to each tier. These are independent revenue sources and direct allocation from the federation to which centrally collectable revenues are paid. Local government also receives allocations from state Internal Revenues. An agreed formula for vertical revenue sharing is used in sharing funds from the federation account.\par
Another key issue in the practice of public revenue mobilization in Nigeria is how to distribute the bloc share from the federation account among the constituent units of each tier i.e. among the 36 states and the 774 local governments. This is called horizontal revenue sharing. In Nigeria, there are four categories in the vertical allocation list -federal, state, local governments, and the special fund. The allocation to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) is accounted for under the special fund which is administered by the federal government.\par
Public revenue mobilization is one of the most keenly contested issues in Nigeria. A comprehensive review of the reports of the various commissions and government policies from the 1946 Philipsons commission to the activities of the National Revenue Mobilisation, allocation and fiscal commission established in 1989 could be found in \hyperref[b68]{Kayode (1993)}, \hyperref[b63]{Emenuga (1993)} and \hyperref[b64]{Ekpo (1994)}. Local governments in Nigeria receive statutory allocations from the two higher tiers of government (federal and states). At the present, revenue sharing formula, local governments receive 20 per cent from the federation account. They are also statutorily entitled to 10 per cent of states' internally generated revenue. As regards to Value Added Tax, local governments receive 30 percent in 1998. This was shared to local governments, on the following basis: equality (50 per cent): population (30 percent) and derivation (20 per cent). In 1999, local governments received 35 per cent of the VAT proceeds. The federal government controls all the major sources of revenue like import and Excise duties, mining rents and royalties, Hofer and Schedal (1978), described strategy as a game plan through which aims and objectives of an organizations are achieved. They further defined strategy as revenue generation as the fundamental pattern of present and planned resources department, and environmental interaction that indicate how the organization will achieve its aims and objectives. They added further that it is the skill employed in managing any affairs, which includes the local government affairs especially in the means of generating revenue.\par
According to Hofer and Schedal (1978), depicted that strategy of revenue generation must aim on the following: i. Ensuring the survival of local government as it relates to determine priorities and decision making. ii. Enhancing the viability of local government objectives. iii. De-emphasizing on federal and statutory allocation. iv. Tapping all available opportunities in their areas. v. Ensuring effective and efficient management of financial resources. vi. Maximizing revenue while minimizing the cost of collection. However, for effective revenue generation, Hofer and Schedal (1978), suggested the following strategies:\par
i. Introduction of additional sources of revenue.\par
ii. Providing an incentive for extra efforts of the revenue generation staffs. iii. Tapping all available opportunities in the areas. iv. Periodic raiding by officer of the revenue generation. v. Efficient and effective collection of existing taxes. vi. Taking advantages of business or commercial opportunities in their local areas.\par
adequately to the changing in the needs of their communities, decides the relative priorities, articulate plan and programmes, set target and standard, monitoring measures and mobilize financial resources with emphasis on those generated internally to accomplish agreed goals. He concluded that the failure of strategy of revenue generation would be blamed on the following: i. That the caliber of people employed for the task in terms of their education, status, mentality, knowledge, sincerity honest and experience. ii. The type of training and orientation given to the people on field of revenue generation. iii. Remuneration or reward and other benefit enjoyed by the staffs. iv. How committed are the people to taxes, fees and other dues, because some of the tax payer sees government facilities as free goods to be enjoyed by all at no cost rate, while other people believed that government should provide those sequestration basic amenities before asking people to pay for such services. v. The actual remittance of revenue generated to the local government account. This is because not all revenue generated will be remitted to the account of local government. vi. Doubts the people on whether the payment are actually go into government purse or not, because there are several fraudulent practice by revenue officials.  {\ref Adeosun (1991)} described the strategy of revenue generation as the bed-rock of any local government. The viability of any local government to the level at which the services are rendered and the quality of those services are inextricably linked with the financial resources available to them. He equally believed that if there is fund, then the ability of local government to perform will depend on the quality of staffs and equipment need to be recognized as the third tier of government -as the one which is closer to the people, therefore things at the local level can be easily noticed and perhaps has some impact on the people. If this idea is constantly brought, the consciousness of officer and members of the local government council, then there is tendency for them to act more responsibly and feel accountable to the public. vii. Public enlightment and campaign that will educate the tax payer on the importance of prompt payment. According to  {\ref Adeosun (1991)}, stated that strategy to generate more revenue should be given an adequate attention in local government system. This is because the federal and state statutory allocations are prone to external influence. He finally stated that the local government should respond promptly and However, for local government to perform their statutory functions both the executive and the legislative arms of the local government have to meet and share ideas, opinions, set goals and objectives through which strategies to revenue are developed and enduring the implementation of such strategies so that the targeted revenue are achieved. According to Oladeji (1995), stated that the main sources of government revenue could be broadly classified as follows:\par
Petroleum Profit Tax: This form the major source of revenue to the Nigeria government. It is the revenue or income derived from crude oil which represent more that 75\% of the source of revenue to the government of recent time, the excess proceed from crude oil were been shared between the three tiers of government.\par
Taxation: This is also one of the important sources of government revenue. In a capitalist world like Europe, tax is the major source of their revenue. Unlike the developing countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Gambia where tax evasion and tax avoidance prevail. Therefore, tax does not form the major source of revenue to government. The tax includes -direct and indirect taxes.\par
Rent, Royalties and Profit: These are income derived from the use of government properties, profit from government business enterprises and income from mining right.\par
Fees, Fines And Specific Charges: These are incomes derived from payment for the use of government services like vehicle licenses, water rates, stamp duties, tax clearance etc. It is income generated by federal Inland Revenue department (FIRD).\par
Grants: These are income received in form of aid from other countries or from international organizations like the World Bank, IMF etc. Within a country, government may also receive grant from another government e.g. local government council receives grants from federal and state government.\par
LOANS: These are incomes generated by borrowing from private individuals or from foreign countries to finance projects.\par
The local government in Nigeria was established for the purpose of rendering services and supplying amenities to the people in both rural and urban area according to the document establishing the local government reforms 1976.\par
Federal government cannot perform all the activities of the rural areas by themselves, but this can only be done 4w the people elected in that, does not prevent or stop the federal government from implementing their roles by providing all the social amenities. Such as construction of roads, provision of pipe borne water, hospitals, good education for the youth, stadium, electricity and museum etc. All these are not really independent because they require government authorization before they can be collected No local authorities can increase the rate of local tax (community tax). Independently there must be legal provisions for local fees and all these are approved by government before inclusion in the estimates.  {\ref Whereas}   {\ref (Olaoye, 2008)}. 
\section[{ii. Impacts of Internally Generated Revenue in Local Government}]{ii. Impacts of Internally Generated Revenue in Local Government}\par
There are a lot of benefits people enjoy from the internally generated revenue of the local government;\par
? Provision of clean water for the people in the local government area. ? Construction of good roads for easy movement of transportation.\par
? Provision of a well-equipped health centre in the community to reduce the death rate of the people. ? Provision of free education in the community to reduce the level of illiteracy in the society. ? Stability of electricity in the community. 
\section[{iii. Ways of Improving Local Government Revenue Generation}]{iii. Ways of Improving Local Government Revenue Generation}\par
Many of the problems facing the generation of revenue in the local governments are those that can be corrected to improve their generation.\par
According to Herbert, a dependable tax base for the local authorities is essential shortage of framed valuation staff will make taxes on real property difficult to assess for sometime to come. The system of graduated tax has been in unjustifiable dispute in recent years Olaoye (2008) also suggested the possibility of a Native Authorities' Loan Authority (NALA) as an agency to provide capital loam for the local government. However, some of the strategies for improvements are; iv. Good Infrastructure A location with good road net work will have every access to the coming and going out of the local government's cars and people, if they get to the local government and see good wads, pipe-borne water, social amenities are made available from the revenue generated from the people. Moreover, a lot has been written and said on the finances of local government in Nigeria. Most of the contributors identified inadequate finance as a major problem hindering the efficient performance of the functions of local government in Nigeria . In fact, the so called independent sources of revenue hospitals, schools etc. they may decide to stay . This will increase the number of people and business that will be paying tax and that will definitely increase the revenue generation because more people will be paying tax, if the government can provide good infrastructure for the local government, there will be more business and people will see reasons to pay tax. According to Henry Fayol, there are fourteen principles of management of which motivation is among the list Henry Fayol however defined motivation as a driving force which stimulate a worker in action workers should be encouraged so that they can put in their maximum services and when this is done, there may be increase or solid improvements in revenue collection. Training of workers for knowledge enhancement should be one of such motivational factors \hyperref[b26]{(Adebisi, 2005)}. It is fervently hoped that when the above suggestions are fully implemented, the local government will not only improve internally but also with the outside world. 
\section[{vi. Establishment of Projects}]{vi. Establishment of Projects}\par
The local government should embark on the establishment of some minimize industries, which will provide employment opportunities to the people. It is happy to note that Lipakala farm industry has helped to solve some of the employment problems within the community. There should also be development and improvement in agricultural ventures like crop farming etc. the participation in agriculture will encourage the inhabitants of this local government are to improve their standard of living. 
\section[{vii. Revenue Management}]{vii. Revenue Management}\par
There is a general trend going about most governmental establishment, there are mismanagement and embezzlement. The revenue so collected are mismanaged by the officer thereby not making the revenue to have any effect on the general populace of the local government.\par
This can be reduced by the centralization of the collection department and rotation of jobs and assignments. If a worker is occupying a particular position for a long time he tends to have all the ways by which he can fraud the department. 
\section[{viii. Loyalty of Tax Payers}]{viii. Loyalty of Tax Payers}\par
If people can change their attitude of tax evasion, more revenue will be generated. The number of people that pay up their dues (tax) as at when due are very small compare to the number of people that are suppose to pay. If the orientation can change, it will go a long way in increasing the amount of revenue that will be generated in the local government.\par
Oladeji (1995), stated the major sources of revenue to local governments; these are as follows: They are the dishonesty on the part of officers collecting the revenues, such as cases of printing receipts by the officers had been the major problem in releasing the expected revenues.\par
The machinery put in place for collection of revenue is inadequate hence, most of the government money is not collected and this is in case of the internally generated funds.\par
Meanwhile, as government is the means by which the common problems and needs of a community constituting a country are economically catered for, so as local community revolves jointly those common problems and needs, which could have been difficulty to solve individually.\par
The very objective of having local representation is in order that those who have an interest in body of their countrymen may manage that joint interest by themselves. This is why every state finds it desirable to create local government councils to provide and deliver local public goods and services hasten development \hyperref[b48]{(Olaoye, 2006)} and bring government closer to the people. 
\section[{d) Functions of Local Government}]{d) Functions of Local Government}\par
According to Oke (2004), the basic responsibilities of local governments are classified into two -exclusive functions and concurrent functions. The exclusive functions are task attached to the local government. These functions are as follows:\par
? Sanitary inspection, refuse and night soil disposal.\par
? Registration of births, deaths and marriage acts.\par
? Maintenance of laws and orders.\par
? Control of water and atmospheric pollution.\par
? Information and public enlightment.\par
? Building and maintenance of health; and maternity centres. ? Provision of scholarship and bursary awards.\par
? Nursery, primary and adult education.\par
? Provision of homes for destitute, in firms and orphans. ? Control of beggars or prostitution and repatriation of destitute. 
\section[{e) Utilization of Revenue Generated By Local Government}]{e) Utilization of Revenue Generated By Local Government}\par
Since there are revenue coming to the local government, there must be expenditure on which these revenue would be expended.\par
Oke (  {\ref 2004}), considered local government expenditure under two major headings:\par
? Recurrent expenditures and ? Capital expenditures Oke (  {\ref 2004}), added further that the expenditure of local government can be considered from the point of its functions. The local government spent money in carrying out its functions, be it the function in the exclusive list or the functions in the concurrent legislative list.\par
Oke (2004) noted further that the recurrent expenditures of the local government are money spend on:\par
? Salaries and allowances of its workers, it is the duty of local governments to pay the salaries and allowances of its workers both administrative and political appointees.\par
? Each department in the local government are given imprest for its day to day running i.e. administration and general, treasury, education, medical and health, town planning and estate developments.\par
Oke (2004) stated that under capital utilization of local government revenue, the local government spends money on the execution of new projects for the development of the local government areas. Examples of such project includes building of new primary school, maternities and health centers, new feeder roads, culverts, boreholes and wells, new markets and motor parks etc.\par
? Building of markets and motor parks.\par
? Naming of streets roads, and numbering of plots and buildings. ? Collection of vehicle parking charges, collection of properties charges and other rates.\par
The concurrent functions on the other hand are those tasks which are concurrently combine the federal, state and local governments. These functions are as follows:

The reason for establishing local governments cannot be over emphasized, but the extent to which they have justified the above assertion is left to be desired. Ordinarily, party politics should be an umbrella under which people can discuss development. But the Nigerian experience is far from the issue. Rather party politics is used as an instrument to create acrimony.

This research on the revenue generation in the local council and rural development in the kogi East Senatorial District is opened with an introduction; it is followed by the statement of the problems, purpose and significance of the study and some relevant terms as used in the study. The importance of revenue to the overall development of the local government in Nigeria cannot be over emphasized. The study indicated that there is a relationship between revenue and developmental effort of the local government. It also showed that government could generate more internally generated revenue if monitoring is put in place. 
\section[{b) Conclusion}]{b) Conclusion}\par
This study has examined local governments' tax mobilization and utilization in Nigeria. Local Governments in Nigeria receive statutory allocation from both the federal and state governments. They also generate internal revenues through taxes and fees, etc. It is opined that expenditure assignment should match with revenue generating powers in order for local governments to discharge their functions effectively. In essence, revenue and expenditure decentralization must support local government public revenue profile. Local government's revenue generation in Nigeria needs restructuring so that taxing powers be given to local authorities and also she should be allowed to share major tax bases with other levels of government to enable enough independent funds for development Local governments should strive towards improving internally generated revenue and instill transparency and accountability in their management structure. This can be effectively carried out through community participation in their various activities. Need to carry people along in the execution of the projects would encourage administrative openness and accountability. Local governments which constitute the areas mostly endowed with natural resources should be allowed to woo foreign investors for the development of their abundant resources. This will improve their revenue generation base and create job opportunities for the people. 
\section[{c) Recommendations}]{c) Recommendations}\par
The Local Government as the tiers of government constituted by law has certain obligation to offer to the people at the grass root level. In order to fulfill such obligation the 1999 constitution has made  Essentially worthy of note in the result is that there is generally significant positive relationship between all the independent variables and the development efforts in all the sampled local governments as indicated by t-statistics deductively, most of the development efforts in the local governments are purely a function of all this important variables. Hence all the null hypotheses are thus rejected while the alternative stands accepted. : This will encourage and boost their morale in discharging their duties. Also, there is need for adequate training of revenue staff so as to know how to manage public funds. xi. The management need to establish a good internal control system to monitor and control the activities of the organization. This will also ensure that all money collected are accounted for and all money are expended for the purpose which it meant to serve. xii. The management should also exploit all revenue sources to the local government. xiii. There should be periodic monitoring of project so as to ensure that contractors do what is expected of them. And also, political consideration in the allocation of contracts should be discouraged. xiv. Local government should embark on meaningful project so as to improve the standard of living of the community level or the local populace. This can be done through the provision of bore-hole, portable water, health services, schools and libraries e.t.c. xv. The local government can also parties with big manufacturing companies to establish factories, this not only in increasing it revenue drive but provide employment opportunities for the indigenes of the local government. xvi. Financial regulations, financial instructions and procedures should be kept as simple as possible.\par
xvii. Finally, state government should however adopt policies of consciously involving more budgetary power and responsibilities to local authority and develop a sense of political control of the local people by making them aware of the important of local prudent financial management and their welfare. With these numerous suggestions and recommendations, the researcher believes that the performance of local government can be highly improved and this will go a long way to contribute to the economic development of the country.\par
As an interim measure, a massive and short duration training packages designs for the various cadres within the hierarchy and aimed at improving knowledge base and enhancing performance at higher level should be provided.\begin{figure}[htbp]
