Abstract
The main objectives of this paper are to explore the critical issues in the agitations/calls for restructuring Nigeria. A conceptual model is used and critical issues are identified as influenced by many factors and interests with special reflections on the background history, geography, heterogeneity and politics of the Nigerian state. Secondary sources of data were used and the historical documentation method of data analysis was also used to analyze the data. Results: There are severally identified issues that are critical to and must be squarely addressed in order to arrive at a desired and mutually accepted stand on Nigeria’s geo-political, ethnoreligious and socio-cultural composition, and a sustained unity and stability which are sought in the name of restructuring. Elites and political merchants? prime interest in power and resources have, however, shaped and dominated the restructuring agitations.
