50 Years After 1976: Did State Creation Solve Nigeria’s Problems?

Fifty years after the 1976 expansion from 12 to 19 states under General Murtala Muhammed, Nigeria now operates 36 states, yet debates over equity, viability, and governance have resurfaced. Fresh agitations for new states raise questions about whether decentralisation has truly brought government closer to the people or expanded administrative costs without matching development outcomes. With many states reliant on federal allocations and only a few considered financially strong, this conversation examines the political calculations, economic realities, and governance capacity shaping Nigeria’s federal structure. Abayomi Fawehinmi joins to assess whether the country needs more states, deeper restructuring, or a different path to inclusion and sustainability.
