Abstract

Nigeria’s Intergovernmental Relations (IGR) is a clear- cut spelled relationships constitutionally between the Federal, State and Local Government with among other aims Intergovernmental Social Service Delivery (IGSSD). The 1999 constitution outlined the revenue profile of each tier of government but the problematic is to what extent is service delivery achieved with IGR arrangement. This study interrogates the effect of the IGR on the developmental roles of Baga/ Birnin Kudu local Governmental Area. The study anchored on the fiscal federalism theory, collected data through interviews and questionnaire, while analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The findings include lack of autonomy; inadequate funds and continuous interference in local government administration are stumbling block to service delivery. The recommendation include need for review of policy of IGR and projects at the local government should not be only located at the urban.
