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. By analyzing the historical context and prevailing circumstances that prompted military incursions into governance, students will gain insights into the complex factors that have influenced the military's involvement in the country's political affairs. From addressing perceived political instability to responding to socio-economic challenges, the motivations behind military takeovers are multifaceted and merit critical examination.
Furthermore, this course aims to assess the achievements of military rule in Nigeria. While military regimes have been critiqued for authoritarian tendencies and human rights abuses, it is essential to recognize that they also implemented certain policies and initiatives that impacted the nation in various ways.

Additionally, students will explore the conditions that necessitated the withdrawal of the military from governance in Nigeria. Transitioning from military to civilian rule is a complex process influenced by a combination of internal and external factors. By examining the challenges faced by military regimes, the pressures exerted by civil society, and the role of international actors in advocating for democratic governance, learners will gain a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that have driven military disengagement from political power.
In conclusion, the military's involvement in Nigerian politics has left a lasting impact on the country's political trajectory.
