The broad objective of this study is to examine the problems of local government autonomy and its implications in the effective management of Primary schools.The study adopted a qualitative descriptive approach. It implore one of the traditional methods of gathering information, i.e. the secondary sources of data. A sizeable percentage of secondary sources that is used came from published and unpublished works which include materials extracted from: Archives, Newspapers, discussions, Conference papers, Magazines, Internets, Books, and Articles in journals e.t.c. and was analyzed to make the topic under discuss meaningful. Findings from the study reveal that local government has contributed immensely to the functioning of primary education, both in mandatory and concurrent capacities with the state government but basically, The state government had hijacked the primary education from the local government with the instrumentality of UBEC, SUBEB, and LGEA, which are more accountable to the state government, but in the real sense of it local government accommodate the major expenses which include the salaries, allowances and benefits, pension, etc . However due to undue interference from State, lack of fiscal autonomy has incapacitated the Local Government from effective functioning and alienated grassroots people from enjoying social service delivery expected of Local Governments in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that relationship between the tiers of government especially State-Local government should shift from master/ servant relationship to that of partners in progress in delivery concurrent functions particularly in primary education delivery. More so, Federal Government should increase the consolidated funds to primary education through UBEC from 2% to at least 5% so as for primary education to be accessible to all and be free indeed to all and sundry.
