We shall attempt an analysis of IGR since that date by postulating three main hypotheses. The first hypothesis is that the nature of IGR at the National-State, National-State-Local, National-Local and Inter-State levels of IGR is a function of the amount of heterogeneity within the national polity that necessitated a federal solution. The second main hypothesis is that the relative affluence of the National Government vis-a-vis the state's as well as the relative affluence of one state vis-a-vis the others makes the difference between a nation-centred and a state-centred Federalism. The third and final hypothesis is that IGR at State Local and Interlocal levels is a function of the heterogeneity of the state. This is more so the case when such heterogeneity is articulated in politial party affiliations and/or interlocal boundary disputes. This paper shall be divided in to main parts. The first part will deal with an elaboration of the hypotheses. The second part will deal with the development of IGR in Nigeria.
