Ohanaeze Insists On Restructuring

Apex Igbo social-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has restated its call for restructuring, saying it is the panacea to some of the country’s challenges.

The national publicity secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr. Ezechukwu Ezechi, said this in an exclusive interview with LEADERSHIP in Enugu.

He averred that restructuring would help the federating states and regions to develop at their own pace.

The Ohanaeze spokesman pointed out that restructuring will give the regions power to control their resources and use them to develop their areas.

Ezechi added that restructuring would grant the regions the financial and structural autonomy to develop their indigenous economic roadmaps.

“There is need to restructure Nigeria so that the various regions will have financial and structural autonomy to develop their indigenous economic roadmap,” he stated.

He used the opportunity to advocate robust institutions, saying Nigeria’s democracy will be straightened out with strong institutions.

He urged the federal government to provide security for the federating units so that businesses can be guaranteed an enabling environment in the areas.
