This is a timely book on political transition to civil rule in Nigeria. The socio-political and economic ramifications of the transfer of power to an elected civilian administration and the political chaos resulting from the continued uncertainties surrounding the transition program are examined. Some of the topics which are touched upon are the relationship between the state, capital accumulation, democratic forces, the characteristic political manipulation by the military and the attempt to hold on to power despite demand for civilian democratic rule, the problem of military intervention to the question of national integration, and the core problems of Nigerian economic management and the alternatives for effective management of the Nigerian economy in the Third Republic.

Let's be clear. “Nigeria's Aborted 3rd Republic and The June 12 Debacle: Reporters' Account” is by no means a definitive account of the controversial transition to civil rule programme of General Babangida or for that matter, that of the annulled June 12 presidential election. But it is a fascinating collection that reminds us about the forces that shaped the past and may be responsible for Nigeria’s present dilemma.
