Abstract

For decades after Nigerian independence, there were differences in the views of successive governments on the country's developmental priorities. The military authorities after the coup - for example - describe civilian governments as incompetent to reform the situation while giving stability and security a top priority [1], and civilians accuse the military authority of impeding development mechanisms, complicating cases, and ignoring the rights of citizens and building the state as a basis for progress and development [2].
