freshest4live: The only states that are "waking up" there are Ogun and Lagos but guess what? Ogun is becoming an industrial power only because of its proximity to Lagos which on its own was built by the FG. So in otherwords, Ogun's rise is fuelled by FG actions. Calabar on the other hand tried to rise with tourism driven by state govt initiative but where are they today? The FG's failure to dredge the Calabar port and the Free-trade-zone issue killed their Tinapa dreams. I want a situation where a state can rise with minimal FG aid. |

Maduawuchukwu:So how do we get there? Because let's call a spade a spade, if we restructure today only about 5 states would move on with minimal burden. They are (in my opinion) Lagos, Rivers, Ogun, and then maybe Anambra and Kaduna to a lesser extent. That is why l believe tax should become a major source of revenue like in other developed and even developing countries, and then slowly let us create policies over the next five years that would make the restructuring easier for us. |

freshest4live: Restructuring will surely take time so we will grant states more powers gradually. The FG will give states more funds and they too will also borrow to build their economies. This is what the US did to some states after the world war and even did for Europe via Marshall plan. So states will not just become responsible for their resources over night. |
