This book offers a reflection on the tension between federalism and separatist agitations in Nigeria. The persistent clamour for restructuring as well as the widespread separatist agitations in the country depicts a moral expression. It does so against the backdrop of the prevailing waves of sub-nationalist tendencies in different parts of the country, including the threat of secession in the South East. Considered across the variegated themes that form the thrust of the books are select practical and theoretical insights that are relevant in repositioning the federalist praxis in Nigeria in the interest of national unity and stability. The book will come handy to the communities of scholars, policy makers and practitioners who are involved in the earnest search for an answer to the federalism dimension of Nigeria's nagging National Question. Students and the general reading populace will find the contents of the book quite insightful.
