Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume declared restructuring essential for Nigeria's sustainable development. He emphasized viewing this process as a strategic imperative rather than merely a political request during Wednesday's book launch in Abuja. The event featured former Rivers State Governor Celestine Omehia's work titled "Restructuring Nigeria The Way Forward."
Professor Bolaji Babatunde Bernard represented Akume at the ceremony. The secretary explained that restructuring aims to strengthen the federation through responsibility devolution and subnational government empowerment. Current administration reforms demonstrate this direction through fuel subsidy elimination and foreign exchange market unification.
Tax system changes will expand fiscal opportunities for states to generate and retain resources. Ongoing state police establishment discussions and digital infrastructure investments support grassroots security and state-level economic growth engines.
