Correct Answer:

Option D – are no longer subordinates to state governments

Explanation

The abolition of the state ministries of local governments in 1989 entails that local governments are no longer subordinate to state governments.

Previously local governments in Nigeria were under the ministry of government. This means that all their activities were controlled by the ministries of Local Government. With this new development, the local government is now a full-fledged third tier of government. They can now take action on any issue without reference to the ministry of local government.
