This research is basically designed to ascertain and analyze the various problems of federalism and Nation-building in Nigeria. This work will adopt the use of secondary source of data as the main method of data collection. Certain literature, which seem to be relevant to the study were consulted and reviewed adequately. To ensure reliability, some hypotheses were posited and there are first, the problems facing Nigeria federalism and nation-building. Another is the nature of prolonged military rule in Nigeria.

Finally, appropriate measures for nation-building to empower federal structure in the future. It is clear that any nation which is not united or nationally build through fiscal federal system or federalism  will not achieve  any  good  set objectives that  will be based  on common of its citizenry. So the issue of this study is to identify and solve those problems  that  hinders  nation-building  through  the  introduction  of  fiscal federalism in Nigeria. The hypotheses were validated. With those problems of federalism and nation-building still hanging on, a very precarious situation and this nation will definitely destroy its citizenry and keep them disintegrated and thereby  defeating  the  rationale  behind  the  adoption  of  fiscal  federalism  in Nigeria.
