Former Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, has said that Nigeria will fare better if the ongoing call to restructure the country into regions is adhered to.

Anyaoku stated at this at the weekend shortly after paying a courtesy visit to Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki at the Government House, Benin

He said that Nigeria’s economy is more viable and rate of development faster when it operated a regional system of government.

He described Governor Obaseki as a visionary governor, saying that Edo State is fortunate to have him.

Responding, Obaseki said that given the cost of governance at the centre, restructuring is inevitable if Nigeria must make progress as a country.

He extolled the leadership quality of Anyaoku, stressing that the former top scribe of the Commonwealth stands for good governance and part of the generation that did the nation proud while in office.

The governor said, He is an international personality who stands for good governance and diplomatic skills.”
