How Nigeria funds its federation: the hidden levers of intergovernmental finance Discover how Nigeria’s post‑independence financial system relies on a flexible mix of constitutional revenues and ad hoc funding to keep regional and federal governments operating. This book examines the role of Fiscal Review Commissions, development loans, treasury bills, external aid, and other tools, and it explains how these elements shape the balance of power and money across the federation.
The narrative frames complex budgeting decisions in plain terms, showing how short‑term needs and political realities influence long‑term plans. It highlights the tension between revenue allocation rules and the practical demands of regional governments, while outlining how authorities use nonconstitutional allocations to respond to crises and deficits. Readers will gain a clearer picture of Nigeria’s evolving fiscal architecture and the factors that drive distribution decisions.
- Learn how ad hoc funding interacts with constitutionally defined revenue sharing
- See how development loans, treasury bills, and external aid fit into national and regional budgets
- Understand who controls external borrowing and how allocations are negotiated
- Explore how fiscal flexibility can both stabilize and complicate intergovernmental finances
Ideal for readers of economics, public policy, and African studies who want a grounded look at how a large federation manages money in a changing political landscape.
