Good governance and democracy in nigeria

The interests of foreign companies being placed before the needs of nationals are not reflective of a government that is accountable or of an
independent state. In short, freedom and true independence will be achieved when the citizenry of Nigeria are empowered in every sense,
economically, politically and socially. However, the reverse has been true. Independence has also produced a destruction of traditional livelihoods
and a population disenfranchised by a lack of access to elected officials and election materials. What is more, only 0. Independence broke the
bonds of colonialism, freeing Nigeria to be sovereign, to practice free will and to determine its own fate. However, past the act of independence,
governments of independent states have numerous responsibilities. This description is a reflection of an independent state unable to meet its central

where few benefit and masses suffer. Where communities protest violent or non-violent the alienation by oil companies, the response is a
disproportionate use of force by government forces against communities. ORG Back to Top. Democracy and Governance in Nigeria: The African
