| dc.description | The need to document events as they occur in the annals of a nation cannot be over-emphasized. The Nigeria handbook see to this need and much more, as an authoritative official compendium on Nigeria. This edition is No. 10 in the series since Nigeria's independence. (The last pre-independence edition of the publication came out in 1952). Since the last edition was published in 1982, a lot of changes as occurred in the economic and political life of Nigeria - the most populous black nation in the world. Between 1982 and now, Nigeria's political and economic grow witnessed two remarkable political events. First, on the 31st of December 1983, a military coup d'etat ousted the then civilian government for its ineptitude and recklessness. The succeeding military administration was also terminated by another coup on 27th August 1985. Nonetheless, the steadfastness with which the present Military Administration decided to pursue the overwhelming inevitable arising from the interregnum has been very reassuring. It is therefore pertinent to mention that this current edition of the Nigeria Handbook has been updated to reflect the country's recent past and also to provide other useful facts about Nigeria comprising 21 states and Abuja, the new Federal Capital. As the Handbook is designed to meet the ever-increasing requests for information about Nigeria, there is no gainsaying the fact that the authentic and detailed information supplied, would readily meet the demands of 'thirsty' information seekers about the Federal Republic of Nigeria. | |
