Time have come for the Nigeria Presidency and Senate to review the constitution and dissolve the most corrupt tier of Government which is the "STATE GOVERNMENT".
Let the Monthly Allocation be from the Federal Government to the Local Governments directly so that dividends of democracy can be felt by the grassroot population because the Local Government is the closest to the people..
Healthy Competitions between Local Governments in a state in terms of building of Schools, Hospitals, Roads, Industries, Employment, Agricultural development, Clean Pipe borne water, Electricity etc.
For example, if all the 10 local governments of "State A" are developed, then State A is developed.
Corruption will be minimized because the people have the LG closer to their mouth now.
70% of Nigeria Governors both Ex and Incumbent are CORRUPT.

Show me 100 corrupt Nigerians, I will show you 70 Ex and Incumbent governors among them.
Time to scrap this entity called State Government is NOW.

yes, you just don't know how corrupt and heartless many of this governors are.

Mods, Front page tinx.

And who told you LGA chairmen don't divert funds?

OP will each LGA have a ministry of finance, education and a water board?

How do you propose to administer these LGA's? A Federal ministry will be inadequate to administer over 700 local governments.

How will administration and development of the previous state capital be managed? Will they be abandoned as towns and left to deteriorate or what strategy do you have in mind?

Op... How will the states be administered then?

Nice question, Every Local government should have a Branch of the federal ministries and Agencies.
2. Every Capital is under a local government territory and should be maintained by that LG.

The corruption will be minimal because a Local govt chairmen will be under a closer look from the small population in the LG.

Op... How will the states be concerned then?

just don't understand your question.

How many chairmen are performing and how many have been brought to book?


They're all same bro including councilors

1. 774 branches of the Ministry of Works to be administered by the same people battling with Federal projects? Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

2. How will the 'special' host LGA be funded to maintain bridges, roads, state schools, specialist hospitals etc?

I disagree with you.
Should we abolish federal ministries too because of corruption?
The state government is the second tier of our federalism and their will be federalism in Nigeria without it.
Do you say to have federal ministries in each lga?, are you suggesting that we have 774 ministry of information? Nigeria isnt that rich.
How will federal government be able to manage 774 LG ?.
Abolishing the state government is not the solution is empowering anti-corruption agencies and the people making their governor accountable.
