Abstract

The basic minimal structures required for a country to lay claims to the practice of federalism include a political system in which there is power sharing under a written constitution with a government consisting of at least two orders: a central or federal government and the governments of the constituent units. Each order of government receives an allocation of financial resources tailored to their specific requirements. Nigeria has been a federal state since 1954, yet even this basic requirement of federalism has not been attained in the Nigerian. The broad objective of the study was to examine federalism and political restructuring in Nigeria. It further review the concept of federalism and political restructuring in Nigeria; analyse the quest for restructuring and democratic consolidation in Nigeria; discussed the implication and challenges of true federalisms in Nigeria; and highlight the ways forward for true federalisms and political restructuring in Nigeria. The study adopt qualitative methods of research. The research methods uses historical/comparative and conceptual analysis. It is observed that there are a lot of issues in the practice of federalism in Nigeria, which make the practice far removed from the practice of true federalism. Constitutional amendment as the need arises is part of the typical dynamism of constitutional order to meet the aspirations of a federation. Nigeria is presently going through a constitutional amendment process, which it is hoped will deal with some of the issues in the structure of the Nigerian federalism.
