ABSTRACT
The potentials of local government as basis for development, as a structural/institutional apparatus for political and administrative decentralisation and social services delivery, and as a bedrock for a solid political system through making governance relevant at grassroots level are now becoming widely acceptable among policy makers and researchers in Nigeria. Similarly, the arguments for a shift of emphasis from law and order oriented local government to cne coping with social service delivery, popular political participation, resource mobilization, rural development and urban renewal are arguments that strengthen the need for local government.
The framework for analysis of the problem of local government structural re-organisation in Lagos State has been based on four significant variables. These are the geo-political unit of analysis (Lagos State) the time variable military role between 1966 and 1979, the conceptual approaches (decentralization and democracy) and the theoretical approaches (organization theory, human relations theory, and systems theory approaches focusing on structure, bureaucratic principles, objectives and functions, finance, human resources - councilors, employees and traditional leaders, and federal-state local relations!
