Abstract

The study focused on the caretaker committee and performance of local Government Council in Nigeria: A study of Anambra State 2008 2013. In Nigeria federal structure, the three levels of government have legislative responsibility for various services and functions. The fourth schedule of the constitution outlines the functions and responsibilities of local government. The objective of the study is to: determine if the imposition of the caretaker committee system is a constitutional provision of the local government system in Nigeria especially Anambra State; to determine if the adoption of the caretaker committee by the state government affected the capacity of local government to perform its functions. The theoretical framework adopted focused on structural functional theory propounded by Gabriel Almond and J.S. Coleman in 1960. The study adopted descriptive research design and relied heavily on both primary and secondary data. Questionnaire was the major instrument for data collection and data were analyzed by the use of mean. Based on the data analysis, the following findings were made: the imposition of the caretaker committee system by state government to local governments is unconstitutional, the adoption of the caretaker committee by state government endangered the local government system capacity to perform its constitutional function. The study recommended amongst others that the use of or appointment of local government caretaker committee should be condemned, caretaker committee should be made to spend only three months to allow for a constitutionally elected local government executive.

阿南布拉州看守委员会和地方政府委员会的表现
本研究的重点是尼日利亚看守委员会和地方政府委员会的绩效:对阿南布拉州2008 - 2013的研究。在尼日利亚的联邦结构中,三级政府对各种服务和职能负有立法责任。宪法附表四概述了地方政府的职能和责任。这项研究的目的是:确定实行看守委员会制度是否是尼日利亚特别是阿南布拉州地方政府制度的宪法规定;确定州政府采用看守委员会是否影响了地方政府履行其职能的能力。所采用的理论框架集中于Gabriel Almond和J.S. Coleman于1960年提出的结构功能理论。本研究采用描述性研究设计,大量依赖一手和二手数据。问卷调查是数据收集的主要工具,数据分析采用均值法。通过数据分析,得出以下结论:州政府对地方政府实行看守委员会制度是违宪的;州政府实行看守委员会制度危及地方政府系统履行其宪法职能的能力。该研究建议,除其他外,应谴责地方政府看守委员会的使用或任命,看守委员会应只花三个月的时间,以允许宪法选举的地方政府行政人员。UJAH 2020年第21卷第4期(特别版
