All other elements of production are worthless unless there is the labour to utilise them; indeed, an organisation can only be effective and efficient as its human resources. The local government in Nigeria requires its employees’ effectiveness to deliver governments policies and programmes to the rural dwellers; however, do the council’s employees have a conducive environment and motivating factors to discharge their responsibilities. The study examined employees’ effectiveness in developing sustainable local government administration in Ekiti State. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design to gather adequate information from the respondents. The study utilised a structured questionnaire to collect data from the respondents.

The local governments were randomly selected from the state’s urban, semi-urban and rural local governments. In addition, the Taro Yamane formula was used to calculate the sample size of (858) for questionnaire administration. The study concluded that motivated employees would carry out their duties and responsibilities in the right way and manner.
