Abstract.
The problem of restructuring Nigeria is not that the government of the day especially
at the federal level does not understand the meaning and its advantages, but the issue
is who is it going to favour or who it would disfavour. Asituation where those who feel
that the status quo is to their detriment are calling on the federal government to
restructure the country so as to bring about equity, equality and equitable
distribution of appointments, opportunities and infrastructural development. The
other group who see nothing wrong about the present arrangement are strongly
opposing the idea. However, the fact remains that every system or institution
established by human being is always subject to amendment, change or
rearrangement. Restructuring of Nigeria political system is a necessity if the
stakeholders (executive, legislatives and judicial arms) in the country are sincere and
have the interest of this nation at heart. For the sake of this paper, I will define some
concepts, why restructuring in necessary, where or area to restructure and finally recommendations.
