The yearnings and aspirations of the locals are mostly interrelated because of the cultural values, norms and traditions that bonded them as indivisible entity.
But the advent of modernization and all it’s features has woken up the people to certain western benefits, which has set some level of differences among the dwellers
Local government is known as the third tiers of government that is believed to be much closer to the people, saddle with some levels of responsibilities as enshrined in the Constitution or bylaws for the welfare of the people.
But as a trained administrator and human manager, research has proven that only a leader who understands the tenets, thesis and antisis of local administration can have a successful local government.
Many has mistaken local government to be a mere individual, institution or political will of authority that held the answers to the desires of the rural dwellers, that could be true to an extent but the ability of the head man to relate properly with the people, decode their troubles, x-ray their needs and deploy local methods through consultation in resolving same matter of concern is partly what local administration means.
Since the emergence of Hon. Mark Edibo as caretaker committee chairman (CTC), omala local government, his styles of leadership are in tune with the theorem of local administration of international standards thereby giving his government an exceptional card of excellence even among his colleagues.
He has demonstrated intelligence in settling local differences among the people, ranging from community disputes, unbearable and outrageous prices of items, whose side effects are capable of throwing the Masses against themselves or the government.
The life of local government can only be sustain through a healthy understanding of local administration.
Let’s get it simplify abit, local administration is in sitting with the people, feasting with the people, gisting with the people, cruising with the people, trekking on the streets of omala with the people and intimating oneself with the people in other to fell the pulses of their desires and hunger that’s local administration and that is government in its reality.
The above mentioned activities are daily occurrence in the government lead by Hon. Mark noble which has made his person and office assesible to both the big and the small and a
has earn him a general acceptance across parties and tongues and even a special badge among caretaker committee chairmen in Kogi state.
Administering local government with business approach of people’s interests as core profit has undeniably come back to life in omala local government with the coming of Hon. Mark noble steering the wheels of mutual reformation of arguable impacts.
