Atiku Plan Part 2 : Overview: Why Restructure Nigeria?

… All who support the calls for restructuring our federation are united in their desire to live in a society that works better and works for its people. They are also united by their love for their country, their patriotism. Those who do not love their country would just want it to break up; they would not be interested in making Nigeria work better… – Atiku Abubakar.

Why Restructure Nigeria?

1. “ First, it is all too obvious that the current arrangement does not respond to the needs of the people. Meeting the needs of a rapidly growing population in a speedily changing global economic environment requires that decision making is as close as possible to the point of delivery.

2. Second, in order to improve the quality of any outcome, there is the need to act faster, efficiently and effectively. The autonomy of the States and Local Governments both of which are closer to their people than the central government in Abuja will result in more effective decisions.


3 Restructuring will make the government work better by dispersing power. It will permit states and local governments more room to pursue their own policies thereby reducing pressure on federal government to decide everything.

4 Restructuring will devolve power and responsibility to lower tiers of government where most Nigerians live. The devolved responsibilities will create more public sector jobs at the state and local government levels. It is in this sense that restructuring will increase citizen participation in government. It will increase efficiency of government through the dispersal of power because power concentration increases red tape, and delays. It will take much shorter time to obtain your driver's licence for example if states are allowed to issue them.

All I know is that it is time for all Nigerians to enjoy the honey of this country

So fake he didn't even say the type of restructuring he wants to bring to Nigeria

We all know the president can't restructure Nigeria only the party that controls the national assembly can

Giving states autonomy won't really changed much,

Would it solve the kaduna crisis?

Would it make anioma of delta to feel less deltan than urobo, would it make idoma of benue not feel like they are used by tiv?

If we must restructure then we must start everything again... And even most states are not visible on there own
