Survey finds 65% of citizens believe Nigeria now more divided than it was 4yrs ago

Sixty-five percent of Nigerians believe that Nigeria is more divided today than it was four years ago, 20 percent more than two years ago, a study by African Polling Institute (API), an independent, non-partisan opinion research think-tank, has found.

This may not be surprising as the increasing level of insecurity, uneven distribution of natural resources and increasing call for restructuring by ethnic groups have worsened the level of disunity in Nigeria.

The data survey was collected in the form of interviews through questionnaires administered between April and May 2021. A total of 8,114 interview contacts were attempted with 5,363 interviews completed.
