Which of these constitutions recognised local government as the third tier of government

The 1979 Constitution of Nigeria recognized local government as the third tier of government. The 1979 Constitution was the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria from 1979 to 1983. It provided for a federal system of government with three tiers of government: federal, state, and local. The local government was recognized as the third tier of government, with elected officials responsible for local administration and development. This recognition of local government as a separate and distinct tier of government was a significant departure from previous constitutions. The 1960 and 1963 constitutions did not recognize local government as a separate tier of government, and it was only with the 1979 Constitution that local government was given official recognition and granted some measure of autonomy and authority. The recognition of local government as a distinct tier of government was a major step towards decentralizing power and promoting grassroots development in Nigeria.
