The aim of this book is to try to understand how state-level governments (and their agents, especially local governments) in a developing country such as Nigeria make their contributions to the development process through their provision and maintenance of basic social services. In this respect, it is, thus, a case-study of the role played by state governments in the development process, whose focuses have been defined as socio-economic improvement and national integration1.
