Question on: JAMB Government - 2024

The rationale behind adopting a federal system in Nigeria is to:* **Promote unity in diversity:** A federal system allows different ethnic and regional groups to coexist within a single country by granting them a degree of autonomy. This is particularly important in a diverse country like Nigeria.* **Promote the autonomy of states:** While promoting unity, the federal system also protects the autonomy of the federating units (states), allowing them to manage their internal affairs.* **Prevent tyranny:** It diffuses power between the central government and the states, making it more difficult for any one entity to become too powerful.
