REVENUE ALLOCATION UNDER A FEDERAL SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT
Abstract
Revenue allocation has been one of the most contentious and controversial issues in the nation’s political life. Given the activities of militants, who now disrupt oil exploration and exploitation activities in the Niger Delta region of the country, these debates and conflicts have taken on renewed urgency, which now engage scholars and policy makers alike. The problem is that in recent years doubts have been expressed about capacity of the present federal arrangement in the country to facilitate process of nation building. The study was dependent on secondary source of information and was discussed and analyzed as such, the study made a few recommendations based on the study amongst which is that Nigeria state should be restructured to reflect fiscal federalism in its character and composition.
