Book Synopsis
One of the major challenges in Nigeria since independence in 1960 has been human rights violations. During military rule, the problem was attributed to the undemocratic nature of military regimes. When the military handed over power to civilians after a democratic election in 1999, it was expected that democratic governance would lead to improved respect for human rights. Nevertheless, human rights violations persisted. The character of Nigeria's civilian government since 1999 has raised questions as to whether the form of government in Nigeria is democratic or something else. This book examines the state of human rights in Nigeria, and the different sources, reasons, and dimensions of human rights violations during the country's Fourth Republic.
