Nigeria is surely a very rich country. But she has held been held bound by her own mismanagement and corruption. Anyway, contrary to what the Vice President says here, I believe strongly that the country is in dire need of restructuring. At some point, the Professor even seemed to be contradicting himself. If he fought for fiscal federalism as an Attorney General, why does he now think restructuring is not the answer? Nigeria prospered way more in the time when there were regions that it is doing now. It is no news that some political zones keep draining the economy's strength without contributing much. Every region should be given a chance to decide its own fate. This is how true federalism works.
