Concept:State governments often undermine the constitutional autonomy of local governments in Nigeria.
Explanation:Local governments in Nigeria are meant to operate as independent tiers of government.
In practice, state governments interfere with their administration and finances.
They control local government funds through the State Joint Local Government Account.
They also influence decision-making and impose administrative staff on local councils.
This interference cripples the financial and managerial independence of local governments.
Resource control, personnel management, and revenue allocation are less direct or less prominent issues than the deliberate control exerted by state governments.
Therefore, state management interference is a major problem facing local government today.
