ABSTRACT

All tiers of government in Nigeria should have access to minimum revenue in other to live up to their fiscal responsibility. Thus, is a tier of government is unable to meet its fiscal responsibility then it could be traced to inequality in revenue allocation. This study examined fiscal responsibility and revenue allocation: panacea to the growth of three tiers of government in Nigeria. Three Simple Ordinary List (OSL) model specified for the study were estimated using three series data revealed that there was a positive and satisfactory significant impact of revenue sharing allocation on federal government revenue. There was a positive and statistically significant impact of revenue sharing of state government and there was a positive but statistically insignificant impact of revenue sharing in local government. The recommendation made include need for Nigeria to revert to fiscal federation review of the current revenue sharing in favour of state and local government and expunging the constitutional provision for join revenue allocation between state and local government.
