A major contentious issue confronting Nigerian Federalism is revenue allocation. Revenue allocation refers to the process of distributing revenue generated by the federation among its constituent units (states and local governments) according to a specified formula. There have been constant agitations by various regions and states for a review of the revenue allocation formula, with some arguing that the current formula is unfair and does not take into account the population and resource endowment of each state. This has led to frequent calls for restructuring of the Nigerian federation to address this issue and ensure equitable distribution of resources among the various regions and states.
