Federal Government in Nigeria

Federal Government in Nigeria Synopsis

The book offers a critical analysis of Nigeria's political institutions, examining the country's government and constitution in depth. Aimed at stimulating intellectual engagement, particularly for students, it covers key topics such as the development of the party system, the structure of the federation, minority rights concerns, and the relationship between human rights and the social order. The study also explores policy development, the social philosophy underpinning the political system, and the broader social implications. By providing a conceptual framework for understanding Nigeria's political landscape, the book highlights the challenges of balancing minority fears with national unity and offers insight into the country's governance and its social and political foundations.
