Abstract

The legitimacy of a government is primarily determined by the perception and confidence the citizens repose on it. This confidence determines the willingness of citizens to discharge their onerous responsibilities and obey the authority of the government. Understanding why people are increasingly losing confidence and trust in government incited this study. Therefore, the study attempted to investigate the consequences of sourcing for public goods from private sources on people’s perception of state legitimacy. The study specifically attempts to: assess the sources of public goods in Ilorin metropolis; examine the perception of people on state legitimacy; assess to what extent people keep their duties to the state; investigate the effect of private sources of public goods on people’s perception on state legitimacy; and investigate the influence of sources of public goods on individual’s responsibility to the state. Questionnaires were administered and analyzed using descriptive statistics, tables, graphs and regression analysis.
