Question on: JAMB Government - 2024

The most significant problem affecting local government in Nigeria is state management interference. This is because:

• State management interference: State governments often exert significant control over local governments, including their finances, functions, and personnel. This interference can undermine the autonomy and effectiveness of local governments.

Other options are relevant but less critical: While resource control, personnel management and revenue allocation are also challenges, they are often exacerbated by state interference. For example, the way revenue is allocated can be influenced by state governments, limiting the resources available to local governments.
