Undoubtedly, one of the major absurdities of Nigerian federalism well
noted in the extant literature which has also been responsible for her
convoluting character is structural imbalance. This paper took a
cursory look at this anomaly in line with Mill’s law of federal
stability. The paper reviewed all previous attempts at both state and
locality creation exercises till date. The paper however inferred that it
is imperative that the challenge of geo-political balancing is resolved
if the polity will be stabilized.
