Since after Nigeria’s independence, keeping the country unified has not been an easy task. Several administrations tried several public policies, up to the moment there are clamors of marginalization and threats of secession. Through the use of extant literature as well as policy instruments, this paper attempts to examine the challenges from the perspective of human resource management (HRM) perspective. The study employs documentary analysis which is a social research technique and is a significant research machination in its own right and is a central part of most schemes of triangulation. The paper argues that the success of public policies which is evident in their continuity revolves around a number of factors and situations that are multifaceted in nature such as economic, social, political and technical. It was also concluded that the factors have a symbiosis rapport among them. It is recommended that comprehensive human resource analysis frameworks should be implemented because it is essential for aligning public policies with effective execution and fostering national integration in Nigeria.
