What is it about?
The polity alternated between civilian and military administrations since its ‘flag independence’ in October 1960.

Even at that, the risk of military intervention has not completely disappeared from the political firmament. The thrust of this article, however, is an in-depth analysis of the role(s) of the Military in democratic political transition in Nigeria.
