ABSTRACT
The purpose for this research is to determine the relevance of a critical analysis of the sources of revenue and expenditure pattern of Isoko North Local Government Area, with reference to Isoko North Local Government. The research was carried out to discover the availability of expenditure and revenue in the Local Government; this involved going to Isoko North Local Government to administer questionnaire and interview on some key staff of the local government. It was revealed among others that revenue and expenditure is available for all categories of staff. Unfortunately, critical analysis of the sources of revenue and expenditure pattern has not enhanced productivity of the local government. It should therefore, be recommended that the local government should try as much as possible to encourage those staffers who put their effort to enable them contribute meaningfully to the advancement of the local government sources of revenue and expenditure in the local government.
