A former early career fellow in the Department of Politics at University of Oxford, Ike Okonta, has described effective political leadership and liberal democracy as essential factors that would promote true federalism in Nigeria.
Okonta, who stated this in his book, ‘Nigeria and the Challenges of Federalism,’ said the reluctance of Nigeria’s political leaders, from the colonial era to the present time, to put forward a constitution that would be reflective of the diversities that exist among Nigerians contributed to the country’s current problems.
“The second vital ingredient necessary for federalism to thrive and prosper is effective political leadership. Federalism is by design a system that depends on consensus, given and taken and the ability to take the long view for it to work.

…says illicit cash flow over $70bn
The President, African Development Bank, Dr Akinwumi Adesina, has described as unsustainable the debts owed by African countries, including Nigeria, saying it has become worrying.
He noted that it had become expedient to address the continent’s debt and development finance challenges, so as to avoid another “lost decade” and build resilient economies.
He added that the time is now for one last debt relief for Africa but that such relief would require that African countries credibly commit to their share of the deal through bold governance reforms to eliminate all forms of leakages in public resources, improvement in domestic resource mobilisation and enhanced transparency.
