Section 15
Political objectives
The state is directed to encourage national integration and prohibit discrimination based on origin, sex, religion, status, ethnicity, or language.
Verbatim constitutional text
(1) The motto of the Federal Republic of Nigeria shall be Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress. (2) Accordingly, national integration shall be actively encouraged, whilst discrimination on the grounds of place of origin, sex, religion, status, ethnic or linguistic association or ties shall be prohibited. (3) For the purpose of promoting national integration, it shall be the duty of the State to- (a) provide adequate facilities for and encourage free mobility of people, goods and services throughout the Federation; (b) secure full residence rights for every citizen in all parts of the Federation; (c) encourage inter-marriage among persons from different places of origin, or of different religious, ethnic or linguistic association or ties; and (d) promote or encourage the formation of associations that cut across ethnic, linguistic, religious and or other sectional barriers. (4) The State shall foster a feeling of belonging and of involvement among the various people of the Federation, to the end that loyalty to the nation shall override sectional loyalties. (5) The State shall abolish all corrupt practices and abuse of power.
The Nigerian reality
National integration is still fragile.
Identity, exclusion, and patronage politics continue to weaken citizenship.

Prince Adewole Adebayo's commitment
Adebayo will frame appointments, federal policy, and national service around competence, inclusion, and equal citizenship.
The Nigerian Reality
Section 15 is the constitutional answer to divisive politics. It gives the site a strong page for inclusion, merit, unity, and equal citizenship.
Adebayo's Commitment
The campaign should present clear standards: no ethnic capture of government, no religious favoritism, transparent appointments, and federal programs that bind citizens together.
Action Angle
Ask supporters to share this page when debates turn to identity politics. It reframes unity as a constitutional obligation, not a campaign slogan.
Support a politics of equal citizenship.
