      abstract = {Nigeria?s practice of federalism has been highly politicized and antithetical to growth and development, breeding tensions and further deepening the fault lines inherent in the political system. Federalism in Nigeria is characterized by ?unitary tendencies?, where almost all powers are concentrated at the center whereas the federating units, the states and local governments, are
reduced to mere appendages. This power concentration at the center has ignited a number of concerns culminating into agitations and counter agitations for restructuring. Therefore, the study seeks to assess the politics of federalism and how prepared is the human capital for restructuring in Nigeria. Content analysis was adopted in analyzing data. The study revealed that rivalry fundamentally instigated by ethnic mutual suspicion increasingly weakens the fabrics of Nigerian unity sovereignty there by resulting to agitations and counter agitations. It is therefore, recommended that attention and more efforts should be directed to have a national political leadership that would be able to inspire citizens to think and act federal.},
