I know the discussions are often emotive. Restructuring should not be driven by political expediency, but by economic and financial viability \u2014 the necessary and sufficient conditions for political viability,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSurgeries are tough. They are better done well, the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe resources found in each state or state groupings should belong to them. The constituent entities should pay federal taxes or royalties for those resources. The achievement of economically viable entities and the viability of the national entity requires constitutional changes to devolve more economic and fiscal powers to the states or regions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe stronger the states, or regions, the stronger the federated units. In the process, our union would be renewed. Our union would be stronger. Our union would be equitable. Our union would be fully participatory. We must be audacious!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must change the relational mindset between the states and Abuja: the fulcrum would be the states, while the centre would provide support to them, not lord over them. With good governance, better accountability systems, and a zero tolerance for corruption, more economically stronger constituent states would emerge!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would unleash massive wealth across the states. It would be a commonwealth. Wealth for all, not wealth for a few. A New Nigeria would arise! We will need all of us \u2014 not some of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also spoke on the need to review the\u00a0<span class=\"acssf62a8\">National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme to ensure more inclusiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"acssf62a8\">\u201cThe National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) was a very good idea. It allowed graduates from tertiary institutions to have one year of national service, largely (ideally) outside of their places of origin,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"acssf62a8\">\u201cThe real test, however, of \u2018national service\u2019 is that it often revealed the lack of inclusiveness. After one year of service, the NYSC graduates are often not able to gain employment in governments where they served, simply because they are not indigenes of those states.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"acssf62a8\">That in itself, is an irony!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"acssf62a8\">\u201cThe young graduates are often strangers in their own country. A country they pledged to serve. Opportunity is denied just because they were not born in those states! Even if they were born in those states, they are told to return to the states of their origin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"acssf62a8\">\u201cIn almost all of Nigeria, regardless of how long you have resided in any place, you cannot run for political offices in those states or locations, just because you were not born there. State governments, therefore, largely reflect nativism, not residency, which further sends a message to non-indigenes that they do not belong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver time, this has created greater insularism, splintering, a lack of inclusiveness, the promotion of ethnic and religious chauvinism, instead of promoting national cohesion, trust and inclusiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Akinwumi Adesina has stated that restructuring Nigeria should be focused on ensuring economic viability of states.
