Abstract
Description
The Nigeria year book 1976, is the 25th in the series prepared and revised each year by the daily. Times of Nigeria Limited with the co-operation of many national organisations, and some government departments. The year book is widely known as an established work of reference.This 1976 edition which covers events up to October 1975, gives factual account of the administration and national economy of Nigeria. It describes the activities of many of the national institutions.
The year book does not claim to be comprehensive; nor does it attempt to cover Nigeria's participation in world affairs. The factual and statistical information it contains is compiled from official and authoritative sources, and most sections of the book relate to Nigeria as a whole. The bloodless coup of July 29, 1975 which brought General Murtala Ramat Muhammed to power is highlighted as well as the reforms and major achievements of the General up to October 31, 1975 (vide Day-to-Day Events). The Who's Who section covers as many personalities as we were able to obtain their biographies before going to press.
