In a federal entity, the federal or the central government is superordinate to the component unit. The aggrieved unit can only go to court to challenge the decision of the federal government; the judiciary can then decide to serve as as a truce breaker by declaring the action of the federal government ulter vires/ unconstitutional/null and void. Hence, the federal govt is bound to obey any court ruling on the matter. Ordinarily, the central government is superior to the component units in a federal state and has the power to clamp down on the component units and the word 'coordinate' simply denotes those areas that calls for cooperation and power sharing. Thanks

Ok, according to your write up in essence, it means it is legal for the Fg to freeze State Accounts until contested in court?

You clearly missed the point the Op is driving at, he said, in a state where the "Component Unit" is not under a pariah condition or state of emergency or trying to separate from the Union, is it lawful or legal for the central government to just freeze an entire account of a State in a federation for more than 24 hours without prior notice of illegality committed or crime perpetuated by the "Component Unit". Thank you

It is illegal
It is brigandage
It is unconstitutional
It amounts to shutting down a sovereign state from economic activities.

[s]sovereignty only belongs to the center in a federating unit. It's only the federal govt that is fully autonomous, the component units are semi- autonomous[/s]

magoo10:
a state that has its house of assembly fully operational is sovereign except in a banana republic .
you cannot shut down the economy of a state by freezing its account and stop her from the constitutional activities elected to perform.
It is unconstitutional and will be addressed in court if the government fails to do the right thing.

[s]a state with a legislative arm is still not sovereign. Can a state house of assembly make law on currency, policing and defence? Can Osun state house of assembly legislate or call for a new currency? Hence, a state in a federating units is NOT sovereign.
Sovereignty can be defined as the absolute power of a state to make and enforce law within its jurisdiction without any internal and external interference.[/s]

magoo10:
and you think the state does not make and enforce laws through the state house of assembly? The law enforced against open grazing is what? Stop quoting me with childish points . i will not dignify you by responding go and sleep

freeze001:


Currency, policing and co are constitutional matters. Even the FG cannot change constitutional provisions without the input and approval of 2/3 of those component units ur states u seem to think the FG can subjugate at will.

bodee:
[s]dignify me! it seems you are high on Osogbo weed, you'd better keep your dignifying comment to yourself. Arrant nonsense!
It takes maturity to understand that people may not always align to your opinion.

I never told this dignified man that a state house of assembly is incapable of making laws. Local government even make certain laws that we refer to as bye laws. Does that make them sovereign? The so called grazing bill can even be truncated by the National Assembly [/s]
