A Former Chairman of INEC has joined calls for the restructuring of the country, asking the Federal Government to do so before 2027.
He insisted that Nigeria would be considered a failed state if it does not provide for the security, welfare, and basic needs of its citizens.
Jega affirmed his position on the state of the country’s political economy while delivering a lecture – “Safeguarding Nigeria’s Future: Prioritizing Citizen’s Welfare and Security Amidst Challenges” at the maiden convocation of the Bauchi State University, Gadau.
The former INEC chief said, “The profound challenges, which currently bedevil Nigeria can be said to be structural, systemic and also related to value orientation”.
“Before 2027, some restructuring of the Nigerian federation should be embarked upon through evidence-based constitutional reforms, the objectives of which should be to deconcentrate powers and resources from the federal tier and to spread them to those of the state and local governments,” Jega hinted.
The restructuring has to go round to every sector in a holistic manner to achieve the said targeted goal in Nigeria, 9News Nigeria reports.
