Apex Igbo social-cultural Organisation, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has repeated its call for restructuring of the country, saying it remains a panacea to address some challenges confronting the nation.
National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr. Ezechukwu Ezechi, made the call in an exclusive telephone interview with LEADERSHIP in Enugu.
Ezechi averred that restructuring will 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.
He added that such system will 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.
Dr Ezechi further advocated robust institutions, stressing that Nigeria’s democracy will be straightened with strong with strong institutions.
He also urged the Federal Government to provide security for the federating units to guarantee an enabling environment for businesses, especially in the South-East region.
