"Nigeria has had a democratically elected government for only 12 years." - Uneca.org
Nigeria is Africa's most populous country and the continent's leading oil producer. A former British colony, the country gained its independence in 1960. The Nigerian society is characterised by rivalry and tension between regions and ethno-religious groups. Despite the institution of a federal regime since independence, Nigerians have been under military rule longer than any other country. Following its announcement in October 1995, the military goverment, which ruled since 1983, handed over its power to a democratically elected government in 1999.
