Local Government as a political subdivision/unit is closest to the people and intracts with the locals in diverse ways that impacts citizens to feel they have government who listens and does its biddings; The absence of which leaves majority of locals with impression that there in no government or at least, it had not worked to improve the lots of its people. The aim of this study was to give a critique of the 1976 Local Government reforms: its history and structure after forty years in operation in Nigeria and to see lessons learnt if any. The study which is historical and qualitative in nature involved the use of content analysis of secondary data such as books, journal articles, case law, published and unpublished materials/reports and internet sources related to the study. Based on the analysis, it was discovered that the 1976 Local Government reforms did not satisfy a large segment of the Nigerian society. Local Governments have not been able to extricate themselves from the apron string of state and federal governments in Nigeria. The structure of power that ensures' unitaryfederal system and political value of the political elite as shown in State and Federal governments interventions in the affairs of Local Government have gone a long way in diluting the innovations brought about by the entrenchment of Local Government as a tier of government. Finally, the study concluded that the defects which warranted the 1976 reform and restructuring of Local Government were sufficient but noted sadly that they are far from being resolved although the revolutionary approach to the structure, functions, powers and staffing in the Local Government Councils laid the foundation of modern local government administration in Nigeria
