| dc.description | The Issue 2864 of West Africa Magazine (week ending 5th May 1972) tackles pressing issues in post-colonial West Africa. Published from London and distributed in Nigeria, it blends analysis and updates: Nigeria’s rocky path to a new constitution, Kano’s straining resources, and coffee producers outside the global pact getting creative. There’s also a review of Robert Pinkney’s dissection of Ghana’s military years, plus Africa-wide news briefs. Key stories include “What constitution for Nigeria?”, examining the coming constituent assembly tasked with crafting civilian rule; Kano’s “Progress report” warns traditional revenue can’t fund its growth ambitions; and coffee nations go rogue with new tactics outside the ICA. The Books section praises Pinkney’s Ghana under military rule 1966-1969 as a handbook for juntas. In Dateline Africa, Sierra Leone’s Delco negotiations kick off. A sober issue full of pragmatism and regional grit – no retro glamour, just substance. | |
