Federalism in Nigeria: A critique
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Review - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper looks at federalism as a political system and how it is being practisedin Nigeria. Using the descriptive method of data gathering, the paper reveals that there are contradictions in its practice in Nigeria. What obtains here is a disguised unitary system. There are many differences between the US and Nigeria in the practice of federalism. It is recommended that since some states are not economically viable, full autonomy be granted to the six regions as federating units as well as derecognizing local governments in the constitution.
