    This study is aimed at assessing service delivery in Keffi Local Government Area, of Nasarawa State with the view to providing solutions to the challenges of effective. The problem of the study is that experience in Nasarawa state has shown that people at the grassroots have suffered age-long neglect from the Local Government administration and also the inability of Local Government Authorities to deliver services in areas of provision of socio-economic facilities and Agricultural extension service.. The effects are that the people wallow in extreme poverty, hunger and disease. The paper adopts quantitative-descriptive method of data collection and analysis from the various scholars. Also the paper adopts service delivery theory as theoretical framework. It is against this problem that the paper attempts to x-ray the role of Local Government in Providing Service Delivery in Keffi Local Government Area of Nasaraiva State muF recommends: that Concerted efforts should be made by Nasaraiva State Government and Keffi Locar Government authorities in the provision of basic socio-economic facilities to members of their community in order to ease their suffering and improve their standard of living. Agriculture is a very important sector of the economy that cannot be neglected by any responsible government. The local authorities im Nasarawa state and Keffi L.G.A should focus more in the delivery of service in the Agriculture extension service. Service delivery at the local government level is for the people at the grassroots, there is in need tcm involve them in government programmes and actions always.
