Reviews
“It is a rich compendium of original and analytical research work by Nigerian scholars on contemporary Nigerian politics. For me, the book finally settles the debate whether the Nigerian State is dead or just dying.” -- Chibuzo N. Nwoke, head of the Department of Politics and International Relations, Lead City University “Researched and written in clear prose by some of the finest social scientists of this era, this book is indisputably a curtain-raiser, a window into Nigerian politics and leadership in a democracy…. A must read for anyone interested in understanding the workings of the Nigerian state, its federalism and democracy, and the role of leadership.” -- W. Alade Fawole, professor of international relations, Obafemi Awolowo University “It is the best comprehensive and lucid study of Jonathan’s administration so far available and written by an impressive team of experts on Nigeria. There is the sense in which it can be said that this courageous intellectual effort has led the way for other works to follow in due course.” -- Victor A. O. Adetula, professor, University of Jos
