Beyond The Cooking Pot An Advocacy Handbook on Gender and Macroeconomics
Constitutional
debates in Nigeria appear to be the business of a few. Many others
do not see or understand that the constitution makes far-reaching
recommendations that affect their day-to-day existence. This handbook
is an attempt to capture in very basic sense the provisions of the
constitution as they relate to local governments. It is also hoped
that simplification of the issue will get many more people interested
in this all-important document as a means of promoting and supporting
constitutional democracy. It also looks at other provisions in the
1999 constitution relating to local governments to the role of both
the officials operating the system and the people on which their
operation has significant impact.
