Reviving Federalism

Description

In Nigeria, many challenges cannot be met by central government acting alone - and to address those challenges effectively, we need to harness the energy and innovation of devolution of power that gave us the best of time from 1952 to 1966 when we had in place Federalism based on regional government before the military suspended it. To help achieve this goal, 'Reviving Federalism' sets out concrete proposals for areas where the central government can devolve more power to citizens - giving regional, state and local communities the power to drive fundamental improvements in everything from the way their neighbourhoods are policed to the way that community assets are used. I believe it will help to build the vibrant local democracies on which our society and our public services depend.
