Abstract
ABSTRACT It is an indubitable fact that most plans/activities lies of any set-up may come to naught if there is lack of revenue or finance to effectuate the one task. It is also germane to stress that just as air, food and water are importance for human existence so also does revenue form the sine-qua-non for any human or government existence and survival It is therefore sufficient to observe that the issue of revenue allocation has always been highly contentious and invariable generated a lot of conflicting and divergent controversies in Nigeria. The issue has been the allocation between various tiers of government vertical allocation and between resource rich and resource-poor regions (horizontal allocation). More recently, another dimension has been introduced to the vertical issue, namely the allocation between the resources-rich regions, local government and community.
