  • Dina Interim Revenue Allocation Committee (1968)Recommended the creation of a Special Joint Account and national minimum standards to reduce reliance on the derivation principle.
  • Aboyade Technical Committee (1977)Introduced highly technical criteria including absorptive capacity, fiscal efficiency, and independent revenue effort.
  • Okigbo Presidential Commission (1980)Recommended a direct statutory share of the Federation Account for Local Governments as the third tier of government.
  • Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (1988)Established a permanent constitutional body responsible for continuously reviewing and proposing revenue allocation formulas.

Cevap

The Dina Committee (1968) matches with recommending a Special Joint Account and national minimum standards; the Aboyade Technical Committee (1977) matches with introducing technical criteria such as absorptive capacity and fiscal efficiency; the Okigbo Presidential Commission (1980) matches with recommending direct statutory allocation for Local Governments from the Federation Account; and the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (1988) matches with establishing a permanent constitutional body for revenue allocation.
Each body corresponds to a critical phase in Nigerian fiscal federalism: the Dina Committee (1968) introduced national minimum standards and the Special Joint Account; the Aboyade Committee (1977) attempted an econometric approach emphasizing absorptive capacity and fiscal efficiency; the Okigbo Commission (1980) constitutionally accommodated local governments with direct shares from the Federation Account; and RMAFC (1988) institutionalized revenue allocation into a permanent regulatory body.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the historical context of the Dina Committee (1968)
Identify that Dina shifted focus away from derivation toward national unity using a Special Joint Account and national minimum standards.
Military governance during the civil war required stronger centralized fiscal coordination.
2
Examine the recommendations of the Aboyade Committee (1977)
Link Aboyade to the introduction of econometric and technical indices such as absorptive capacity, independent revenue effort, and fiscal efficiency.
The committee prioritized economic indicators to guide state-level distribution.
3
Evaluate the Okigbo Commission's (1980) major structural contribution
Identify that Okigbo formally integrated local governments as direct beneficiaries of the Federation Account.
The 1979 Constitution recognized local governments as a statutory third tier of government.
4
Determine the role of the 1988 Danjuma initiative / RMAFC
Recognize the transition from temporary ad-hoc commissions to a permanent fiscal body.
Continuous fiscal adjustments required an institutionalized, permanent commission.
