The study adopted a survey research designed where a primary method of data collection was used in which a sample of 60 close-ended questionnaires were prepared based on the research questions and administered to the respondents in the study area. However, for the purpose of analysis, the study uses 5-Point Likert Scale Rating in the form of tables to analyze respondent information. Based on the findings the study concludes that the implementation of the State Joint Local Government Account (SJLGA) has significantly affected the financial autonomy of local governments in Taraba State, including Takum Local Government Area. The system has limited the ability of local governments to control their funds and hindered their development initiatives. The level of development in rural areas, particularly in Takum Local Government Area, has been adversely affected due to the diversion and mismanagement of funds from the SJLGA, leading to inadequate provision of basic amenities and infrastructure. However, in line with the conclusion this study recommends that the government should promote transparency and accountability in the disbursement and utilization of funds from the SJLGA. Regular audits and public disclosure of financial transactions will help build trust between the government and citizens, and the allocation of resources from the SJLGA should be equitable, ensuring that rural areas receive their fair share of funds to support development initiatives. This will help bridge the development gap between urban and rural areas....Preview Download Preview +Other Public Administration project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of industrial conflict on the performance of workers in the government parastatal (a case study of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)»Human resources as a catalyst for economic growth and development in Nigeria (a case study of Abuja municipal area council) »The influence of effective personnel management practice in organization performance»Local government financial autonomy and grass root development in Nigeria (a case study of Afikpo north local government area)»Enhancing political stability in Nigeria through good governance ( a case study of Abia state)»Niger-Delta crisis and its impact on socio-economic development in Nigeria»Manpower training and development as a tool for effective performance in public sector in Nigeria»Bureaucracy and efficiency (a case study of Enugu state civil service)»The impact of poor revenue generation on the development of Local Government Areas»Political instability a major hindrance to effective policy implementation and good governance (a case study of Nigeria 1983 -1999)»Accountability and corruption in local government in Nigeria (Case study of Bonny local government area of Rivers state)»Fuel subsidy removal and the Nigerian economy (a case study of Abakiliki local government area, Ebonyi state) »Effects of delayed payment of lecturers salaries and wages on students performance»Impact of collective bargaining techniques on industrial relations practice (a case study of two selected firms from NUPENG and NUBIFE)»The influence of employee behaviour on the internal audit function of an organization (a case study of P.Z. industries plc Aba)
