This book examines the ways in which colonialism continues to
define the political economy of Nigeria sixty years after gaining
political independence from the British. It also establishes a link
between colonialism and the continued agitation for restructuring
the political arrangement of the country. The contributions offer
various perspectives on how the forceful amalgamation of disparate
units and diverse nationalities have undermined the realization of
the development potential of Nigeria. The book is divided into two
parts. The first part interrogates the political economy of
colonialism and the implications of this on economic development in
contemporary Nigeria. The second part examines nation-building,
governance, and development in a postcolonial state. The failure of
the postcolonial political elites to ensure inclusive governance
has continued to foster centrifugal and centripetal forces that
question the legitimacy of the state. The forces have deepened
calls for secession, accentuated conflicts and predispose the
country to possible disintegration. A new government approach is
required that would ensure equal representation, access to power
and equitable distribution of resources.
