Certainly, an appropriate understanding of the idea of making Nigeria a proper federation is afoot all over the country. As once noted again, Kogi State, for instance, can go to Nasarawa State and invest in some mineral resources and employ the people there. Why should agriculture, water and mineral resources be the preoccupation of the government at the centre in a supposedly federal governance structure? Indeed, a properly organised federal structure will strengthen democracy and make the country prosper economically. At the moment, poverty in the federating units, all of which keep asking for bailouts from the centre before they can pay even basic bills, is intolerable and unacceptable.
