In most cases, these scholars defined local government as a political entity. Leo and Anthony (1989) defined local government as subordinate unit of administration and vest in them the authority to perform local function. Awolowo (1989) also defined local government as a system of government where in local council accepts responsibility for and implements their own decision subject to such control as may be exercised by the people through their own regional government. The guidelines for local government reform (2000) defined local government as government of local level exercised through representative council, established by law to exercise specific power within defied areas.
