Oyedele: Fiscal Federalism Cannot Work Without Mutual Responsibility,

Oyedele argues that fiscal federalism— the allocation of taxation and spending powers among national, regional, and local governments— can only succeed when all levels of government share responsibility for revenue generation, expenditure, and accountability. Mutual responsibility ensures that resources are raised and used efficiently, prevents fiscal imbalances, and promotes cooperation, transparency, and equitable service delivery across the federation.
