NIGERIA RESTRUCTURING BILL CONCLUDED READY FOR RATIFICATION: Below is the kite being flown by the Federal Government on Restructuring Nigerian Economic Restructuring Bill 2021 [1] Nigeria will be made up of 42 states, with seven per each of her constituent geo-political zone. These shall be: South-south [1] Bayelsa State - Yenagoa [2] Western Ijaw State - Patani [3] Rivers State - Port Harcourt [4] Cross River State - Calabar [5] Akwa Ibom State - Uyo [6] Edo State - Benin [7] Delta State - Warri Northeast [1] Mambilla State - Gashaka [2] Taraba State - Jalingo [3] Adamawa State - Yola [4] Borno State - Maiduguri [5] Yobe State - Damaturu [6] Bauchi State - Bauchi [7] Gombe State - Gombe Southeast [1] Anioma State - Asaba [2] Orashi State - Omoku [3] Anambra State - Awka [4] Imo State - Owerri [5] Enugu State - Enugu [6] Abia State - Umuahia [7] Ebonyi State - Abakaliki North-Central [1] Abuja State - Abuja [2] Gurara State - Kafanchan [3] Benue State - Makurdi [4] Plateau State - Jos [5] Nasarawa State - Lafia [6] Kogi State - Lokoja [7] Niger State - Minna Southwest [1] Kwara State - Ilorin [2] Oyo State - Ibadan [3] Ogun State - Abeokuta [4] Lagos State - Ikeja [5] Ondo - Akure [6] Ekiti - Ado-Ekiti [7] Osun - Oshogbo Northwest [1] Sokoto State - Sokoto [2] Kebbi State - Birnin Kebbi [3] Kaduna State - Kaduna [4] Katsina State - Katsina [5] Kano State - Kano [6] Jigawa State - Dutse [7] Zamfara State - Gusua [2] Each state will be responsible for creating and funding its local governments as it deems fit. Local governments will be funded internally by the charging of a local tax, which will be augmented by a state grant representing no more than 10% of TV [3] Over a 35 year period, we gradually migrate back to the 1957/58 revenue sharing formula agreed by our founding fathers at the Lancaster House Conferences in London under which the federating units will control all the resources within their domains and remit 50% to the centre [4] Our federating units will keep 50% of all the revenue that they generate, put a further 20% into a central pot called the Excess Federation Account to which everyone can have access as the need arises, 10% will go into a geo-political zone account and the remaining 20% will go to into the Federation Account used to run the federal government [5] With regards to all other resources, we shall move towards this immediately but in the case of oil and gas, the move will have to be gradual due to how dependent we have become on these two resources. A gradual migration shall take place over the next 35 years in this manner: 2000 - 13%, 2021 - 18%, 2023 - 20%, 2025 - 25%, 2030 - 30%, 2035 - 35%, 2040 - 40%, 2045 - 45%, 2050 - 50% [6] Every one of our 42 states will be set a target of generating at least $2bn in export revenue. Any state government that attracts inward investment to the tune of $1bn, will get a corresponding grant from the federal government [7] Any state that fails to generate as much revenue as it spends for two consecutive years as from 2020, will be subject to an immediate declaration of a state of emergency. It shall be administered centrally by the federal government until its books are balanced [8] Every state must seek to generate at least 30% of its internal revenue from manufacturing and services, with a migration away from primary products to value added production [9] Every state is free to create more local governments provided they meet the necessary criteria which includes holding a referendum and the fact that the local government area is self-sustaining. To be recognised as a local government area, basic facilities that must exist within the domain include 20 primary schools, five secondary schools, a local government headquarters, at least one vocational training college and at least one public health centre [10] All local and state governments will as a matter of course award supply contracts to companies that manufacture products within Nigeria. Only as a last resort will companies that manufacture products abroad be granted government contract. 1 Like |

jbbalarabe: Fake crap and silly agenda! Why add this state to the southeast, and keep their kith and Kin in Rivers state? If your aim of adding Anioma state to southeast is to bring all Igbo clans into the southeast, then add Port Harcourt state which is part of your Orashi state with Port Harcourt as the capital. In that way, you keep all of them in the Port Harcourt state against balkanizing them and keeping half in SE and the other half in SS? Your agenda is DOA because your single strategy is to continue your agenda of divide and rule, and continue the narrative that Igboland is landlocked because you have again carved the parts of Igboland near the sea to other regions. 3 Likes |

Restructuring the country as described above, I believe, would permanently put an end to all the agitations for cessation. But I know our present crop of leaders are too shortsighted to see the benefits of such measure. |
