The military has played a significant role in the political history of Nigeria, with several interventions shaping the country's governance over the years. Understanding the impact of military rule on Nigerian politics is crucial for comprehending the nation's political landscape. This course material delves into the intricate dynamics of military involvement in Nigerian politics, examining the reasons for military intervention, the achievements of military rule, and the conditions that led to the withdrawal of the military from governance.
One of the primary objectives of this course is to evaluate the reasons provided for military intervention in Nigerian politics.

Transitioning from military to civilian rule is a complex process influenced by a combination of internal and external factors.
