Abstract
This project is on the impact of poor revenue generation in the development of local government areas – a study of Kuje area council FCT, Abuja. Revenue generation is the nucleus and the path to modern development. Thus, the study was to assess the Impact of Poor Revenue Generation in the development of Local Government Areas. This is because local government as the three-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 has 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, inadequate basic social amenities to rural people and inadequate 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 regarded towards giving their maximum support to the Local Government which would lead to the development of the rural area.
