The Office of the Auditor-General for Local Governments was created through Decree No 12 of 1989 as amended by Decree No 25 1990. Prior to it's creation in 1989, the Auditor-General for State Audit handled the auditing of Local Governments in the state. During this period, the Department of Local Government Accounts in the state Audit handled the audit of Local Government Accounts. Following the Local Governments Reforms by the then Military Government, Local Governments in the nation were given broader responsibilities and elevated to the third tier of government. This Office was created then to serve as the external auditor of the third tier of government.

The Office mandate is to audit the accounts of all Local Governments in the state and any Agency  of the State Government that receives and or administer Local Government fund
