Democratic governance constitutes an enduring challenge for
Africa's most populous country, Nigeria. The book reflects on the
form, trajectory and content of democratic governance in
post-military Nigeria from 1999. Nigeria's democracy remains
fragile, conflict sensitive and possibly reversible as the legacy
of praetorianism and illiberal political culture constrain the
progress and opportunities for democratic growth and consolidation
in the country. Progress and expectations are widely disconnected.
The policy recommendations contained in the book provides
invaluable pathway for reconstituting institutions, politics, power
and governance essential for promoting democratic stability and
growth in Nigeria.
