In Nigeria, local government administration from the colonial period has had a bad history due to inadequate human resource management.

During the colonial era, local government was structured to favour the imperialist who were only concerned with moving our resources (human and material) abroad. The (imperialist) did not consider effective human resources management as being an important element in the effectiveness of local government organization.
