ABSTRACT
The colonial administration of the pre-independence era in Nigeria used traditional authorities on large scale in governance. Ever since then, traditional authorities have found themselves confronted with providing complimentary leadership in their domain. Their relevance in the contemporary societies appear to be diminishing with the result that various tiers of government appear to perceive and use them in governance in different ways and levels. This study appraised the roles and place of traditional authorities in Nigeria with particular reference to Anambra North Senatorial Zone of Anambra State. For this purpose, a structured questionnaire was designed and administrated to 200 samples selected among traditional rulers, key local government council officials and key officials of Ananbra State Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters. Following the collection and analysis of data, some salient findings were registered. They include among others, the fact that.
a) Traditional authorities play some essential and fundamental roles in governance in Nigeria
b) They were not only recognized but also enjoy a significant place in governance especially at the grassroots level.
c) They performed their roles and functions very well and satisfactorily.
d) They engaged in the settlement and resolution of intra and inter communal feuds.
e) Chieftaincy feuds and tussles were found to occur to a moderate extent within Igbo communities.
f) To some extent which is considered small, government interfered in the activities and function of traditional authorities within Igbo speaking states of Nigeria.
