Structural functionalism theory was adopted as the theoretical framework of analysis. Two hundred staffs makes up the study population; the study used the whole population of two hundred as the sample size since the population of the study is manageable.

Findings were revealed that Dunukofia Local government generates some revenue including other funds they got from the state government but the whole funds generated are not enough for the development and provision of basic amenities for the people. The study further recommends that:- State government should endeavour to be remitting at least 20% of the Internally Generated Revenue to the Local government council for proper grass root development, Anambra State government should release adequately the allocation meant for Dunukofia Local government and Local government should source alternative ways of revenue generation in other to meet up to her grassroots development program.
