Think Yoruba First - Europe Chapter

Nigeria’s restructuring debate is about more than changing the constitution. It is about moving from an overly centralised system towards a genuine federation where power is shared and regions have greater control over their affairs. The argument for ethnolinguistic federalism calls for a system that recognises Nigeria’s diverse peoples while preserving a united country. This requires rethinking the balance of powers between the federal and regional levels, including the division of responsibilities on the legislative lists. The lesson is clear: national unity is stronger when diversity is recognised, power is decentralised, and every constituent people has a meaningful role in governing the country.
