Background of the study
The problems with national integration in Nigeria are so severe that the country's federation is on the verge of dissolving altogether. Both antagonistic and integrative processes may be attributed to the diverse structure of the country, which, when combined with the incorrect way of the country's development, gave rise to the situation (Adeosun, 2022). As a sovereign nation, Nigeria was formally established in 1914 after the British merged its northern and southern protectorates into a single entity (Agbodike, 2021). In order for there to be any kind of acceptable growth in a country with as many different ethnic groups as Nigeria, the ultimate aim that needs to be accomplished is national integration. According to Chime [1971.50], national integration is a process of cohesion between two or more social units, whereby these units come together to constitute a political whole. These units come together to constitute a political whole which includes, among other things, the joining of various parts of society into a functioning whole, the growth of obedience and loyalty to its pars, and the emergence of shared national values (Ailoje, 2021). Therefore, Nigeria would have achieved national unity, characterised by the elevation of obedience and loyalty to the Nigerian state above loyalty to the country's constituent components (Adeosun, 2022). Therefore, social equality of citizens is implied by the idea. Federation is a form of government that defines the relationship between component parts assumed to have the potential for integrating diverse cultural societies. It was adopted in Nigeria as a system of government to enhance national integration, and it is also a form of government that defines the relationship between component parts (Agbodike, 2021). The faiths rather participate in ethnicity, political struggle by social classes, religious conflict, and other such activities, which ultimately culminate in the crises of national integration that reached their apex during the era of attempted succession and civil war (Ailoje, 2021).
