governing institutions between states. Local governments generally act within
powers delegated to them by legislation or directives of the higher level of
government. In federal states, local government generally comprises the

local government usually occupies the second or third tier of government,
often with greater powers than higher-level administrative divisions.

Problems of Local Government
Problems encountered by local government authorities
1 Inadequate fund: The money given to local governments by the federal
government is often too small and not sufficient to solve some of the problems
facing the local government.
2 Limited authority and power: The local government does not have power and
authority on many issues. It can only solve local, community problems and does
not undertake large projects that require a lot of money.

still corrupt. Some of the workers collect bribe and steal money meant for
developing the local government area.
4 Lack of dedication to work: Some local government workers do not put their
full effort into their jobs. They come late to work. This makes the local government
not effective.
5 Inability to maintain law and order: Sometimes when there are communal
clashes and riots, the local government authorities are not able to work with the
police to restore peace and order. This mainly is because the police is not under the
control of the local government.

1 More money should be made available to the local government to enable it
develop the communities.
2 The local government should be given more power so that it can solve more
problems for the people.

The state government
A state government is a group of people who is given the power and authority
to run the affairs of many local government areas which make up the state.
A state is much bigger than a local government area but lower than the whole
country under the federal government. A state government is headed by an
elected officer called the governor and assisted by a deputy governor and
commissioners. There are thirty six (36) states in Nigeria. Each state has a
capital where the state government office is located.
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) operates much like a state but is smaller
and has an administrator/minister and not a governor.
Duties of the state government to the people
The duties of a state government are more than the duties of a local government.
These duties include:
1 Construction and maintenance of roads: The state government constructs
bigger roads for the people and maintain the existing ones.
