Synopsis

Originally published in 1969, this was the first standard work on Nigerian federal finance ever published. It traces the evolution of federal finance in Nigeria during a 20-year period from 1946 and analyses the economic, socio-political and fiscal problems encountered by the governments of the Federation in the course of this development. It also examines the main features of the fiscal system which emerged and discusses the way in which the general principles of federal finance have had to be tailored to the particular needs and interests of the different regions in Nigeria.
