Abstract

In any federal system, the nature and conditions of the financial relations are crucial to the survival of the country. In fact, in most federal countries, the federating states always have some issues such as discourse, dispute and wrangling with the centre. The issue is centred on the problem of securing adequate financial resources to discharge essential political and constitutional responsibilities. Nigeria is not an exception. The decision as to what percentage of centrally generated revenue that would be retained among the tiers of government has always been a problem. These anomalies, the article contend must be remedied in order to sustain a true federal system in Nigeria. Key words: Federalism, fiscal commission, government, revenue mobilisation.
