Abstract: | This paper focuses on bad leadership as an impediment to sustainable development at the local government level in Nigeria. The Nigerian constitution provides for a third-tier of government designed to make basic amenities available to local people. Unfortunately, bad leadership, as manifested in corruption, indiscipline and immorality, and incomptence prevents local people from enjoying democracy's dividends. Credible electoral processes and respect for moral values, the rule of law and democratic principles among all Nigerians may effectively tackle bad leadership at the local government level.
