JAMB - Government (2013 - No. 24)
Nigeria adopted the federal system of government because of
Uneven development
The availability of limited resources
The adoption of a state religion
The fear of domination of minorities
Explanation
The demand for the creation of newer states in Nigeria tends to emanate from sub-state groups, often ethnic- or tribal-interest groups, which accuse the current larger state governments of subverting or ignoring the interests and necessities of the more local regions.
