The research objectives included to examine whether the use of caretaker committee in Local Government administration in Anambra state affects service delivery and to determine whether the Local government in Anambra state provided a good ground for impartation of democratic values. Two null hypotheses were posited and tested at 0.05 level significance using simple percentage and chi square (X2) statistical tool to analyse the hypotheses. The population of the study was made up of 530,628 with a sample size of 400. The questionnaire was designed to elicit valid and related information from residents of these three local governments selected for this investigation. Analysis of the questionnaire showed that consistent use of Caretaker committee system in Anambra state has rendered local incapable of providing and maintaining primary schools and primary health facilities and that Local government in Anambra state provided good ground for the impartation of democratic values. Based on these findings, the researchers recommended that the powers of control given to state government by the 1999 constitution should be repealed with immediate effect to enable local government perform without undue interferences by the state or central governments and that the laudable role played by local government in providing good training ground for future leaders should be encouraged and sustained.
