PROPOSAL ON

EMPOWERING THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN THEIR INTERNALLY GENERATED REVENUE

The main focus of this term paper is to travel into various sources of revenue generation, in addition to the conventional ones to empower the local government councils perform their constitutional function with or without statutory allocation.

In order to get my project done effectively I wish to visit the various local governments in Enugu State to discuss with their treasurers and the revenue officers of the various local government councils. I will also visit the real revenue collectors in the held to have interactions with them. During the period of meeting or the period of interaction with the above officers, I will interview them very well, serve them questionnaires relating to the topic I am handling. I will also serve questionnaire to the various workers of various local government in Enugu State. The interaction with the above officers and the collection of questionnaires will help me know their problems and prospects in the internal revenue generation of local government, their various sources of revenue generation and closing a good sample size.

Finally, I will visit the library and read through what the other previous writers has written about revenue generation in Enugu State local government councils. Based on the responses and information I will get from these places, I will be able to get the project done effectively and make a good recommendation on this topic to enable Enugu State local government councils remain a live and valid in the present Nigeria contest.
