Nigerian Bureaucracy in an African Democracy

The book explores the complex relationship between bureaucracy and democracy in Nigeria, highlighting seven historical challenges that have shaped this dynamic. Key issues include the legacy of colonialism, the enduring influence of both civil and military bureaucracies, and the impact of the British Westminster model on governance. It addresses the powerful role of bureaucracy, the struggle for national unity amid ethnic diversity, and the dual nature of bureaucratic power, all contributing to Nigeria's ongoing political and administrative challenges.
