Oyedele: Fiscal Federalism Cannot Work Without Mutual Responsibility,

Oyedele argues that fiscal federalism— the allocation of taxation and expenditure powers among national, regional, and local governments— can succeed only when all levels of government share responsibility for revenue generation, spending decisions, and accountability. Mutual responsibility ensures that higher‑level authorities provide adequate transfers and oversight while sub‑national units manage resources efficiently and transparently, preventing fiscal imbalances and fostering cooperative governance.
