Note:
Afenifere, a prominent socio-political organization representing the Yoruba people of Nigeria, has long advocated for the restructuring of the Nigerian state. This call for restructuring typically involves decentralizing power from the federal government to the regions or states within Nigeria. The aim is to address issues of ethnic diversity, promote equitable distribution of resources, and foster greater autonomy for the various regions.
The restructuring debate in Nigeria often centres around issues such as fiscal federalism, resource control, state policing, and the devolution of powers to the states. Advocates argue that restructuring would help to address longstanding grievances, reduce tensions, and promote national unity by allowing each region to govern its affairs more effectively.
However, the topic remains highly contentious, with differing opinions on the best approach to restructuring and concerns about how it might affect the balance of power among Nigeria's diverse ethnic groups. Despite this, calls from groups like Afenifere continue to amplify the need for meaningful dialogue and action on restructuring to address Nigeria's complex socio-political challenges.
