Problems of state governments in Nigeria.

Some of the problems facing state governments in Nigeria are as follows:

  1. Corruption: Many officials of state governments in Nigeria are corrupt. They spend government money as if it belongs to them.
  2. Finance: Many of the states depend solely on monthly allocations from the federal government. They cannot generate enough money within the state to execute projects.
  3. Ethnic/religious differences: Some states still experience communal clashes because of differences in the religious and ethnic beliefs of the people. This does not promote unity and development.
  4. Lack of social development: Many states do not have adequate social amenities like water, electricity, roads and schools; and they lack adequate funds to provide these.
  5. Conflict/disagreement: Many states clash with the federal government, especially states whose ruling political parties are different from that of the government at the federal level. These conflicts delay progress in the states that are affected. The federal government may delay the release of benefits to such states.
