Journal of Emerging Trends in Educational Research and Policy Studies (JETERAPS) (Vol 1 No 1)
| Abstract: This paper examined some Military Regimes in Nigeria. It discussed the military heads of state between the periods of 1966-1979. It analyses the strength and weaknesses of these leaders viz; Major General Aguiyi Ironsi, General Yakubu Gowon, General Ramat Murtala Mohammed and General Olusegun Obasanjo. Primary data for the study was obtained through oral interview of selected gerontocrats and others above the age of fifty years, political scientists, political analysts, and political historians as primary source of information gathering (random sampling method was adopted in the selection of interviewees). Archival material was used to supplement and substantiate the sourced information. Secondary sources like books, newspapers, articles, journals, theses and dissertation and internet material were also used. It was found that the military rulers contributed much to the development of Nigeria in spite of their flaws. It concludes that military rule could be positive in contribution, particularly when commitment is enlisted from the leader. It is further posited by the authors that the management of governance goes beyond the type of government to enlist commitment and sacrifice from the leaders before able development could be achieved and sustained. |
