The United Igbo Elders Council (UNIEC) Worldwide has stated that calls for Nigeria’s restructuring aim to strengthen federalism, promote national stability, and encourage inclusive development not to divide the nation.
UNIEC, through its Director General Justice Alpha Ikpeama, emphasized that a restructured federation would enhance responsible governance, fiscal discipline, and healthy competition among Nigeria’s regions.
The council also reaffirmed the Igbo nation’s commitment to Nigeria’s unity and peaceful coexistence.

“Recognizing Nigeria as a union of diverse peoples and cultures, we affirm that restructuring is a legitimate path toward true federalism, national stability, and inclusive development.
We call on Nigeria’s leadership and citizens to initiate constructive constitutional reform for a just and balanced federation.”
UNIEC stressed that a fair and balanced federation is essential for lasting national peace and prosperity.
