Abstract

Challenges of multi-culturalism among federal nation have continued to attract scholarly discourses on the need for the citizens of such states like Nigeria to chart a common course for their development through the creation of synergies that foster unity against their divisive tendencies. Debates here focus on problems of obnoxious and divisive tendencies that work against citizens' integration for greater national development, with emphasis on charting a course for their development. This paper focuses on helping Nigeria's federal system overcome their challenges by fostering the principles of unity in diversity, cultural integration and their commitment to common national ideals.
