This paper examined the impacts of internally generated revenue on the Nigerian local government sustainability using Ilorin west local government area, Kwara state as a case study. To achieve the above objective, the paper adopted both the primary and secondary data. The primary data were sourced with questionnaires from the entire 68 staff in the revenue section of Ilorin west local government area, while the data were analyzed using Chi square Test of independence. The study found a strong positive relationship between internally generated revenue and local government sustainability with (X2= 62.629, p<0.05). The study concluded that internally generated revenue is a prerequisite for local government sustainability in Nigeria. It is therefore recommended that all areas of Local Government Internally Generated Revenue be expanded as the major funding from the monthly Federal allocation cannot guarantee the expected Local Government sustainability.
