Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Education is a critical pillar of national development, and intergovernmental collaboration is essential for effective education delivery in Nigeria. Kano South Local Government Area (LGA) in Kano State has witnessed significant interventions by both the federal and state governments in the education sector, with various programs aimed at improving infrastructure, teacher quality, and student enrollment. The role of intergovernmental collaboration in ensuring the success of these programs cannot be overstated, as it enables the pooling of resources, expertise, and policies across different levels of government. However, challenges such as poor coordination, overlapping responsibilities, and insufficient funding have hampered the full potential of intergovernmental collaboration in education (Bello & Yusuf, 2024). This study aims to investigate the nature and effectiveness of intergovernmental collaboration in the education development of Kano South LGA, examining the policies, programs, and partnerships between local, state, and federal governments.
