Abstract :
Nigeria's local government system faces significant challenges in effectively addressing multicultural diversity and promoting grassroots governance. These challenges are deeply rooted in structural and institutional barriers that hinder inclusive and participatory governance. This paper adopts a qualitative comparative approach to explore how international models of multicultural and multitier governance can inform reforms in Nigeria local government system. It assessed the limitations of Nigeria current local government structure and explores adaptable lessons from Canada, Switzerland, and India. The study is anchored on theories of multiculturalism and multilevel governance to propose actionable frameworks for more inclusive and autonomous local governance in Nigeria.
