Restructuring has to do with the corporate management term for the act of reorganizing the legal, ownership, operational, or other structures of a company for the purpose of making it more profitable, or better organized for its present needs.




With the recent ongoing cry for the restructuring of Nigeria, here are top ten things that would happen if Nigeria is restructured.

1. No More Federal Allocation: The normal trend of states waiting to receive allocation/ "oil money" from the federal treasury will become a thing of the past.

2. States Will Control Their Resources: The various states in Nigeria, will be in full control of their resources. Take for instance, Enugu; the coal producing state will be in full control of how coal is mined, transported and exported without the interference of the federal government. The federal government will play it's role by ensuring the coal mining follows due procedure.

3. Less Power in Abuja: Currently, Nigeria runs a very a expensive government because of the centralized power in Abuja. If Nigeria is restructured, power no longer rests solely in Abuja, but is shared equally among states. This implies that states can have their own separate laws guiding them.

4. State Policing Will be Made Possible: Imagine a Nigeria with a police force bearing the name "KAPD" standing as Kano State Police Department. The various states in Nigeria will be able to be in full control of their military; with Abuja overseeing them all.

5. Government Workers will be more serious: Restructuring this country, is sure to make civil servants serious in carrying out their responsibilities as there would be competition among states to have the best output.

6. Unemployment Reduction: Restructuring Nigeria will reduce the rate of unemployment; because the 36 states with mineral resources will begin to explore and harness their resources leading to a new era of utilization of these human and mineral resources.

7. Increase in Healthy Competition: Nigerian states without good healthcare, schools and public infrastructure will begin to work hard to provide such, so that they can be seen as good among their counterparts. For instance, if a state is not doing well in providing quality education; and sees people leaving the state for other states that state can decide to work hard to improve the education infrastructure to see that it competes with states with the best education.

8. Less dependence on Oil: Due to the fact, that states now control their resources, crude oil will no longer be the main source of revenue for the country; leading to the increase in diversity in revenue generation. Some states could go into manufacturing, some into real large scale Textile making, some into full time agriculture.

9. General Development: The country will generally develop. Each state will be responsible for the improving a key sector of the economy leading to massive development.


10. Nigerian crude oil could lose value: With the dwindling price of oil, and the growing concern about carbon poisoning caused by crude oil, the world is moving toward a green environment. Hence, revenue generated by oil in the south south of Nigeria will make little or no sense in the international markets in the nearest future. By 2020, many countries in Europe will begin the use of electric vehicles.

Top Ten Things that will happen if Nigeria is restructured

Firstly, define restructuring.

I love this
But what are the disadvantages of restructuring

No!!!!!

1) states like bayelsa that receive over 800% more grant than most populous kano have NOTHING to show of development, why? The leaders are stealing the money
2)enormous corruption and looting
3)excessive tribalism and nepotism
4)uneven development across the country
5)poor leadership in each state
6)long period of time before states get their acts together
7)most states have NOTHING to depend on
8. )no federal grant means states like jigawa, nasarawa, kwara etc cannot afford to pay their civil servants
9)it takes decades to build an economy which means all the states must go back to the 19th century
10) there will be war and chaos
11) with the current living hardship no state can bear economic building
12) states controlling their resources means enormous theft, all the thieves in each state will have access to state treasury and they'll surely empty

Blame the white people that amalgamated this country

What you said won't still solve the kaduna crisis

Some local government would still be feeding some non viable ones within the same state

So the people is not really solved

But it would go a long way to make this country better..

Ok

U have no prove about that

Akwa Ibom can generate enough electricity that can power the state but whatever is generated has to go to the national grid first, does that even make sense.

There are a lot of things on exclusive list that ought to be removed

we can start somewhere, or what do yo think?

We need to start by knowing what would work for us

Restructuring this country wil work for us.. thats the simple truth.. We have tried parliamentary system, it never worked.. Now, presidential system still nothing..

What type of restructuring not the one u are suggesting

Let's restructure already..

The most important of all which you have ignorantly left out is;
A REFERENDUM.

After restructuring the country, it will be a lot easier to conduct a referendum.

Atiku/Obi.
The people's only choice.
We and all our families are behind you.

All these talk about restructuring is a lie

Okay

.

If Atiku is so sincere about 'restructuring Nigeria in six months', what then is the attraction of a second tenure to him??

Can abokkis do without oil money?

I almost believe all this bullshit until I remember how buhari promise us $1 will equal #1 and I said f**k atiku with his lies

Though there will be stiff regional problems but a restructured Nigeria will force each region to develop @ it's own pace using available resources but paying a token to help run the central government hence reduce dependency on others & promotes healthy competition as obtainable in the US.

Whoever wrote this is painfully naive if s/he's thinking these are part of Atiku's plan.. There's a reason Atiku and his co-travellers keep shouting restructuring without exactly breaking it down to the points listed by the op (which are noble by the way).

Atiku in clear terms should be able to tell us and break it down

- Is he for state police?
- Is he for 100% resource control? (He has answered this already saying as much as he would like it, Nigeria can't achieve it now)
- Is he for devolution of Abuja powers?
-Regionalism? etc

And not just shout I'll restructure Nigeria.

The federal system of government we practice was copied from USA. They practice it very well compare to us
