  • More about Nigeria in the Fourth Republic: Confronting the Contemporary Political, Economic, and Social Dilemmas

This volume provides ways to tackle the political, economic, and social dilemmas in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic to promote national cohesion, political stability, and peaceful coexistence.

In the vast expanse of Africa, Nigeria stands as a beacon, endowed with abundant natural resources and a wealth of human capital. However, its development and grandeur have been hindered by political instability since attaining independence from Britain in 1960. The contemporary political, economic, and social challenges that have stifled Nigeria's growth project stem from the inability to cultivate patriotic leaders with the courage and determination to enact effective policies that will propel the country to greater heights of development.

In his book titled "Nigeria in the Fourth Republic: Confronting the Contemporary Political, Economic, and Social Dilemmas," E. Ike Udogu delves into some of the critical factors contributing to the current political malaise and offers strategies for extricating the country from its current political quagmires. The contributors to this insightful volume argue, among other things, for the avoidance of false starts reminiscent of military interventions that derailed the democratic project and advocate for the implementation of effective policies that transcend decision-making influenced by politics.

This volume proposes comprehensive national healthcare strategies to address the country's healthcare needs, as well as fostering dialogue to extinguish combustible inter-religious conflicts. It also recommends ways to alleviate police highway malfeasance and underscores the importance of human rights observance in fostering further national cohesion while creating space for the subalterns to have their voices heard in discussions on promoting peaceful coexistence.

Nigeria's potential for greatness is undeniable, and with the right leadership and policies, it can overcome the challenges it faces and achieve its full potential as a prosperous and democratic nation. It is time for the Nigerian people, government, and stakeholders to come together and work towards a brighter future for all.
