Intergovernmental relations is associated with states having a federal administrative system where the relationship between the federal, central or national government and major subnational units (province, region or state) are formally spelt out in the constitution. This seek to promote peace and harmony among the levels of government which are the federal, state and local government, to enhance the emergence of cooperative rather than competitive federation and to solve the problem of rural and urban poverty. In chapter one of this research work, the background in need for the study is to be discussed, the statement of the problem, objective of the study which is to determine if the constitutional provisions for local governments and their relations in the central government are prevalent, and also to determine the present structure and pattern of intergovernmental relations were discussed.
