• IN THE RECENTLY ADOPTED NIGERIAN FEDERAL CONSTITUTION, THE NOW NINETEEN STATES RELINQUISHED THEIR RIGHT TO SEPARATE CONSTITUTIONS AND ACCEPTED A RELIANCE UPON THE APPROPRIATE ARTICLES OF THE FEDERAL DOCUMENT. IT IS POINTED OUT THAT THIS DOES NOT LEAVE THEM WITHOUT INDIVIDUAL CONSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKS BUT DOES ESTABLISH THEIR FULL DEPENDENCE ON COMMON ACTION IN THE FEDERAL ARENA TO ACHIEVE MAJOR CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGE. THE STATE-RELATED PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION ARE EXPLORED IN DETAIL AND THE WORKINGS TO DATE, ARE DESCRIBED AND EVALUATED.
