Restructuring is posited as the reconfiguration of the country and devolution of powers, resources to the constituent units. This study discusses restructuring of Nigeria’s federation with insights on political, security and educational restructuring as dimensions for true federalism. The methodology used include secondary data sources that was analysed using content analysis. The findings shows that there is need for re-configuration of the country and devolution of powers to the constituent units in order to improve the political, security and education fortunes of Nigeria.
