Northern minority ethnic nationalities under the auspices of the Coalition of Indigenous Middle Belt Organisations, CIMBO have suggested the restructuring of Nigeria into three regions of South, Middle-Belt and North.
The ethnic nationalities also demanded that the current 1999 constitution be rewritten, saying that restructuring and enacting a new ‘people’s constitution’ is the panacea to peace and development of Nigeria . A communique issued after its two-day conference in Kaduna suggested that the 2014 national conference report should be the basis for restructuring the country.
Professor Ejeikwu Emmanuel Oloja, in a paper presented at the conference titled; “The position of the Middle Belt on Restructuring, Boundary Adjustments and Constitutional Review', called for the restructuring of Nigeria into South, Middle-Belt and Northern regions.
