Without restructuring, Nigeria heading now where – Soludo, Anyaoku


– A former Commonwealth Secretary-General, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, and a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Prof. Charles Soludo, have yet again call for the restructuring of the country.


– Anyaoku said Nigeria had under performed due to its current 36-states structure, where all the states were dependent on the central government for survival


Eminent Nigerians including A former Commonwealth Secretary-General, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, and a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Prof. Charles Soludo, have yet again call for the restrtucturing of the country. Both men spoke in Abuja during the public presentation of a book, ‘Nigeria: The Forsaken Road to Nationhood and Development’, written by a retired diplomat and Nigeria’s former Ambassador to Switzerland, Dr. Humphrey Orjiako.


Anyaoku said Nigeria had under performed due to its current 36-states structure, where all the states were dependent on the central government for survival. He added that it was time the country reverted to regional governments. “I think the Nigeria we have, of 36 federating units now, is not working. The country continues to underperform because of the 36 states we have now. About 27 of the states cannot pay the salaries of their workers.” On his part, Soludo said the present structure of the country was outdated and would not enhance its development, describing the Federal Government as a major constraint to the states.
