Forklaring
Nigeria's modern local government system officially started with the 1976 local government reform, making it the third tier of government.
The reform prevented traditional rulers from practicing politics by setting up a separate council of chiefs with an essential advisory role. It harmonized the condition of service of local government personnel with the personnel of the state and federal governments.
