B.

have more control over their funds

C.

no longer have anything to do with state governments

D.

are no longer surbodinates to state governments

Correct answer is D

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 actions on any issue without reference to the ministry of local government.
