ABSTRACT

The Federal Republic of Nigeria is a country blessed with natural and human resources so vast and rare. She sits atop a geographical location that is devoid of worrisome natural disasters like earthquakes, whirlwinds and seasonal storms that often present obstacles to national growth and development.

Regrettably, the country has failed to harness this opportunity for national development. Rather, what we have is a breakdown and decay of social infrastructure; health services are largely unavailable; education is costly and without recognizable standards; power generation and energy supply are epileptic.

Pensioners and civil servants are denied and owed their legitimate payments and dues. For lack of security, there is a breakdown of law and order in the polity, people are robbed, maimed, kidnapped and killed at will. The country is so rich but the majority of people are poor living on a dollar per day.

INTRODUCTION

At the inauguration of the country’s civilian administration in May 29th 1999, the expectation was that the end had come for the era of insecurity and the seeming intractable conflicts that characterized the final days of the military regime. It gave hope that a foundation for quicker development had been laid in the country.

At the last years of the military regime, the social situation in Nigeria had become very problematic. In fact, the last ten (10) years were specifically turbulent (see Tedheke, 2005; Elaigwu, 2005; Wakili, 2005; Bakoje, 2005 etc).

Explaining the reasons for such situation, Mbah (2008: 3) linked it to the failure of the neo-liberal economic policies that become more pungent in the 80s and manifested in unfriendly impact on the people: widespread unemployment, hunger and misery.
