About this book

Nigeria’s Republic at Sixty offers a comprehensive analysis of Nigeria’s six decades as a republic. Through a meticulous exploration across twenty chapters, this pathbreaking book critically assesses Nigeria’s achievements and obstacles, and presents a scholarly vision for a promising future. The contributors examine the nation’s journey to independence and the formation of the First Republic and delve into the evolutionary trajectory of Nigeria’s constitution, including an analysis of constitutional conferences, amendments, and their effect on governance. A thorough evaluation of Nigeria's political landscape after independence follows, along with democratic transitions, political parties, and the consolidation of democratic institutions. Other chapters assess socio-economic transformations, including economic reforms, diversification initiatives, poverty reduction strategies, technological development, and inclusive growth frameworks.
