ABSTRACT
Whatever the theoretical and practical imperatives of federalism are, revenue
allocation (livewire in authoritative value allocation or who gets what, when, how and where?) remains an object of intense politics and, unquestionably, a major source of inter-group or inter-regional antagonism. Nigeria is no exception to this rule. Politics, well-anchored possess the potential of balancing conflicting interests and resolving socio-economic and political contradictions in the society. How far have politics in Nigeria gone in resolving contradictions associated with revenue allocation? This paper identifies six major contradictions/challenges confronting revenue allocation practice and concomitant inter-governmental fiscal relations in Nigeria, name: Non-Correspondence Problem; Fiscal Autonomy and Independence; Who Owns the Golden Goose (Federal Government, States, Local Governments or Communities?); Federation Account and Derivation Fund; Oil- Producing Areas and the Derivation Principle; and Inter-governmental Fiscal Relations and the Economy. Upon analysis, the paper argues that the Nigerian State
have not, and may well not be able to, resolve these nagging issues. The politically and economically fragile Nigerian state, operating in a highly unstable, fragile and geo-politically polarized society shows limited capacity to deal with these challenges. By this default, the paper argues, the promise of inventing development-promoting revenue sharing formula is lost in Nigeria. National progress is the ultimate casualty.
