Abstract
A strong brand is invaluable as the battle for it is high. Nigeria is a country that has been linked with corruption, high unemployment rates, underdevelopment among others. Rebranding Nigeria transforms it into a new brand making it a new haven and placing it side by side with developed nations of the world. O’Tudor (2009) reiterated that as a country, we need personal, corporate and institutional reformation to achieve a transformational repositioning of our national brand identity. Some developed countries like United State of America, USA, India, and Japan rebranded before reaching their status as world leaders today. The resounding presence of Mathematics is evident in all fields and human endeavor. This paper examines the pivotal role that Mathematics plays in all aspect restating it as a central tool for national development.
