About the book

This stufy establishes the circumstances of military incursion into Nigerian politics and examines the civil war, and how it enhanced with military's control of political power. It highlights and analyses the strategies which the military rulers consciously employd to monopolise political power in Nigeria between 1966 and 1993. It concludes that the deliberate posturing, the politics of patronage and subordination, coercive and repressive methods and militarisation and guided transition programmes were used by different military regimes to prolong their power.
