In its usual lip-service to the Universal Basic Education, the country manages a basic education system with a preponderance of private sector initiative and a negligent public system. Nigeria therefore bears the brunt of a wobbly educational system, laced in obnoxious policies and cluelessness and manifest in the inability to empower the teeming youth population or solve problems. Once again, to all reasonable intents and purposes, there is no reason to quarrel with the need to restructure Nigeria. Within the context of perennial internal and global changes, Nigeria cannot but continuously self-assess and adjust if it is to survive and thrive as a federation. Nations restructure their political system as Nigeria did from the parliamentary to the presidential system of government; and administrative restructuring from protectorates to many states.
