ABSTRACT
Project management is important component to local government councils functions, given the need to take governance to the grassroots. Projects are regularly executed by this level of government. However empirical evidences show that most local government councils incue huge financial losses and alienation of the citizenry due to poor project management, monitoring and evaluation to ascertain their level of compliance with laid down procedures of project management. The study adopted primary and secondary sources of data collection in gathering information and stratified sampling techniques was used in selecting groups that fell into the sample. The population of the study comprised of the local government staff and the community members (beneficiaries) of Zaria Local Government. The findings showed that project management in Zaria Local Government was ineffective and inefficient due to lack of monitoring and evaluation, incompetent and unskilled personnel. Sequent to these findings the researcher hereby recommends that the local government should adopt the habit of monitoring and evaluating project during and after implementation and the local government should appoint skilled and competent personnel that will manage their project effectively and efficiently. The study argues that given the catalogue of challenges facing project management in local governments, unless some urgent and categorical steps are taken such as adherence to due process in all facets of project planning and management involving the people of the grass-roots in project imitation, formulation and execution, insistence on continuity on government projects irrespective of change of government or its personnel among other steps, government at the grass-roots will continue to struggle to make any useful impact on the people’s life
