How did the Nigerian state get to this level of institutional failure that challenged the essence of governance which is the security of lives and property? How do we address the numerous problems bedeviling the Nigerian state? What can the Nigerian political elite sacrifice to sustain the Nigerian project? What is the level of poverty, illiteracy and socioeconomic deprivations in the society especially among the youths? Is it possible to address the negative dichotomy between the rich and poor in Nigeria? What are the lasting solutions to the numerous problems affecting the nation that may be generally acceptable to the North/South political divide in the country?
These and many more questions are opened for interrogations in looking at the reasons for institutional failures in Nigeria. Both historical and contemporary events in the country have shown that Nigeria and Nigerians have been lackadaisical in building institutions that work.
