Abstract

Constitution is a legal instrument that to captured the essence of any political system in which it is operated. Hence, it is a body of laws which ensure that all the aspects of political system are to be taken into consideration in the process of its making. Thus, the framers of the federal constitution incorporate institutional measures to assure oneness in a diversified polity. This was the exact case with the nation's 1999 constitution in which some integrative mechanisms were entrenched to ensure unity in diversity. This study, therefore, not only identified these integrative mechanisms in the 1999 constitutions; presidentialism, federal character and party formation but also measured the extents of compliance by the operators of the constitution. The study which adopted documentary method thereby relies on secondary sources for its data generation concluded that, although the operators complied with these integrative mechanisms, but there were absurdities, abuses and misuse in its operations and practices. The paper also concluded that some of the integrative provisions are burden on the finances of the Nigerian State. The paper made some fundamental recommendations on how to strengthens the institutional mechanisms as provided for in the 1999 constitution
