Nigeria was properly structured by 1960. There was healthy and developmental rivalry between the nations that make up Nigeria.</em></p> <p><em>“Restructuring is not disintegration it is a rearrangement for better functionality. Let us look at the benefit of all these from empirical evidence. Unity does not necessarily mean unanimity; it can be diversity in unity.</em></p> <p><em>“Restructure the police; let the states have control over their internal security through the state police. Let the state collect VAT and remit a percentage to the centre. Allow states to build their roads, federal roads should be only the motorways. States should be allowed to create their local government.</em></p> <p><em>“Devolve powers on the exclusive list to the states except for immigration, customs and the armed forces. Let the CBN control the monetary policy.</em></p> <p><em>“Let us think above the average and look at the potential benefits of the two propositions from successful countries that have gone through the process.”</em></p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/02/15/afenifere-chieftain-omololu-calls-for-restructuring-speaks-on-yoruba-nation/">Afenifere Chieftain, Omololu Calls For Restructuring, Speaks On Yoruba Nation</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.naijanews.com">Naija News</a>.</p>
