Abstract
Restructuring is a positive-balanced adjustment or change in the socio-economic and political structure of a particular country for equity, equality, justice and growth of that society. Restructuring literally means an entity’s structure is faulty, thereby, required to be re structured. Since inception of Nigeria as a country, there has been a loud cry for restructuring of the system; reasons been that, Nigeria is a multi-ethnic society which demand every section of the country to be adequately represented in the scheme of things to avoid domination of one group against the other. This call demands a total restructuring in every sector of the countries decision making, implementation and management because a lopsided policy has threatened the Nigerian unity, peace and existence. Consequently, this lopsided policy becomes the root causes of marginalization, corruption, agitation, and the delay of political cum economic growth of Nigeria. In this regard, the paper therefore admonishes Nigerian policy makers, politicians, and other stakeholders to see restructuring and re-making of the Nigerian state as a ‘do or die affair’ in order to avoid total collapse of the Nigerian society. Using the analytical method, the paper succinctly highlighted marginalization, domination, imbalance in the Nigerian system as the root causes of the calls for restructuring. Hence, the paper recommends that Nigerian system should be just and fair in their dealings, considering the multiplicity of the Nigerian society so as to ensure the growth and survival of the Nigerian nation. Therefore, concludes that, restructuring and re-making of Nigeria is a ‘do or die affair’ if meaningful development and sustained unity and stability of Nigerian nation is to be guaranteed.
