The essay work examines the impact of intergovernmental relations on local government administration in Nigeria. The essay argues that Local Government is not mutually exclusive of other levels of government and that as such there is bound to be an interaction between the local and other levels of government.

Also, there should be direct disbursement of federation allocation to all the levels of government.
