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 - FCT
[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 contracts.

Splendid.
If Tinubu do this, he will certainly be the hero our time

Tinubu, tinubu,,, can't wait to see you

This is where Nigerians will love Akpabio and Tinibu should they perform the age Long magic

Nonsense... Is this the restructuring Nigerians are talking about?

First thing First... Tinubu should vacate that seat.He is NOT our president.

It's like an impostor coming to share an inheritance.

Not possible.
Restructuring is beyond this.
Don't be deceived.

No.

Actually something like this is one of the integral part of restructuring.

These are places where Tinubu’s brute force will be useful. And if he achieves it, he would have done something he would be remembered for forever.

I see he’s trying to unify all Igbos into Southeast by carving Anioma people of Delta and Omoku people of Rivers into Southeast.

Again, he wants to bring Kwara into the Southwest fold and remove the stupid northern tag attached to Kwarans who are Yoruba people.

Then he would separate the Southern Kaduna people from jihadist Kaduna Muslims who want to disappear them from the face of the earth and has never allowed them govern Kaduna except the Patrick ‘mistake’ who they ended up assassinating.

Meanwhile, I don’t think this is Tinubu’s brainchild. I think this is from CONFAB.

Like I’ve said before, I’m convinced Tinubu will restructure Nigeria. The only reason he didn’t say it during campaigns is because he knows the north don’t like hearing that.

Good policy, I endorse 👍.

Seems perfect on paper. But easier said than done

Ignore those idiots for the sanity of your mind. 35 years span my anus! Thieves!

Anything that can keep the country progressing is a welcomed development.

Any restructuring that does not give South East DIRECT connection to the outside world should not acceptable to the Igbo.
All other geopolitical zones - ALL OF THEM - each has DIRECT connection to a neighboring country, or the sea.
Igbo zone should not allow itself to be encircled again. Hoo haa!
Ndigbo should keep this in mind as "they" fly this kite.

We can start from somewhere.

It’s one step at a time.

Not everyone in the NC likes the "Northern" tag either.

Why not actually create a new Central Region without the unattractive Northern tag? This way, many Middle Belt Christian minorities even in the NE (like Taraba) can also join?

The whole "north" thing....is one "baggage!"

You dropped a long comment for a thread without a credible source.

The article said it's a 2021 bill, and you are giving the credit to Tinubu that became the president last month.

That thing reeks of FAKE NEWS!

O ga oh!

This a kite flying exercise to gauge opinion. The final restructuring will not be too far from this

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

Could this be true?

If PBAT can achieves this, then he would have done something he would be forever remembered for.

That’s why I said in the end that the idea was pulled from CONFAB.

Meanwhile, you need to understand that sometimes policymakers deliberately throw out some information to the public to gauge reactions and they don’t do that through reputable media as not to damage the reputation of such media house should they deny the news due to backlash in case of hostile reactions.

So, that’s why I deliberately commented to help the researchers should it be that.

Good point.

But you know it’s a sensitive issue that Tinubu may not wanna touch.

Northern cabals don’t like it that the MiddleBelt is trying to break away from their “one north”.

If this ever becomes a reality, then Tinubu would be celebrated as the greatest hero of our time.

IF TINUBU CAN SEPARATE ESPECIALLY SOUTHERN KADUNA IT SHALL WRITE OFF, HIS YEARS OF FRAUD, ALL THIS ARE A WELCOME DEVELOPMENT.
KUDOS TO TINUBU IF HE CAN DO THIS.

What is stopping the south eastern states from getting their own sea ports? Must FG do everything? Can't the states of the East partner with foreign investors to get it done?

I am an Obidient. If this should come to fruition then it's good.

What exactly do we need more states for when the current states should have even been reduced to something like 20 to 24 states.

This proposal no fit work

This will encourage positive competition among the zones thereby turning our diversity to our advantage.

hate doesn't see anything good,it's something to have a bill and it's is another thing to have it passed.if u like call it 1988 bill but tinubu will still get the credit if it is passed as soon as possible.

Like I said before, the mandate thief is only sweeping the streets for our Principal
