Accountability, transparency and sound moral ethical conduct is one of the instruments required of public servants or officers that promote good governance in public affairs especially at the local government administration. Public confidence in most of the public officers are low and they are often objects of derision, presented as greed and corrupt in Nigerian local government system and public service administration. This paper which seeks to identify the efficacy of accountability, transparency and moral ethical conduct towards ensuring good governance in Nigeria’s local government and public service in general. This study adopted survey research design and is anchored on institutional theory as a theoretical framework of analysis. The study established that greed, bureaucratic corruption, financial corruption, low moral ethics and lack of transparency and public accountability are militating against effective local government and public service development in Ebonyi State. It concludes that a reduction in the level of financial corruption, bureaucratic corruption and improved ethical morals and values, will lead to corresponding increase and improvement in local government administration and public service in Ebonyi State. Recommendations were made for re-orientation in our value system; that public officers found to be corrupt should be adequately punished.
