ABSTRACT

The aim of this thesis is to assess the leadership and human resource development with a focus on Okrika Local Government Area (LGA). Interestingly, despite the numerous reforms, which had granted autonomy to the local governments for good performance, not much success has been achieved by the local government.

The study highlighted the importance of human resource development in building the leadership capacity of local governments in Nigeria using Okrika Local Government of Rivers State. The background of Okrika Local Government was examined.

Survey research method, questionnaire, observation and interview, were used to collect data from the junior/senior employees of Okrika Local Government to actualize the objective of the study. The collected data were presented and analyzed in tabular form, frequency distribution and percentages.
