The study focused on revenue base and social assets creation in local government areas in Cross River State as a virile tool for overcoming exclusion and strengthening inclusion for sustainable development in the third world. The purposes were to determine the possible causes of poor performance of local government areas in terms of social assets creation and maintenance; and the level of internally generated revenue of the local government areas and their ability to create desirable social assets to enhance sustainable development. To achieve these purposes, data on components of revenue base and social assets of selected local government areas between 1997 and 2011, were collected and analyzed, with the use of regression analysis. It was discovered that revenue base has a significant positive impact on the creation of social assets. Moreover, internally generated revenue which was shown as a stable revenue source was neglected due to over dependence on statutory allocation from the Federation Account. The study concluded that the inability of the local government councils to create adequate social assets is as a result of poor revenue base and lack of commitment, which are worsening by corrupt practices. Based on the above findings and conclusion, it was recommended amongst others that the identified militating factors be properly tackled in order to ameliorate the dearth of social assets in the local government councils so as to ensure sustainable development.
