Abstract

The nexus between the local government and democratic governance has been keenly explored on intense academic debates. Recent debates has aimed at beaming attentions on systems such as poor service delivery, lack of accountability, corruption, non-involvement of the people in policy formulation and implementation, poor staffing and total lack of autonomy and by omission leaving out the viral influence of caretaker committees in the debate. The paper therefore, examined this phenomenon by asking the question as to whether the caretaker committee hindered democratic governance in the local government system in Anambra State between the years 2003-2014. The methodology adopted in the study is thematic (i.e. content) analysis..
