 CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

• Background of the study

In March of 2015, Nigeria’s second democratic transfer of political power took place with the election of the All Progressives Congress (APC), led by Muhammadu Buhari. This affirms the progress that Nigeria has made since transitioning from military rule in 1999 and is symbolic of its shift from a relatively marginal regional actor into Africa’s largest economy. All the presidents Nigeria has had have their own goal before becoming the president of Nigeria, these differences ranges from the time of General Sani Abacha to the time of Buhari, all these are still for the better things to come for Nigeria. Most if not all African countries are still strangulating to attain a high degree or level in the socio-economic development of their various societies till today. Although, this failure have been always related to the external forces which most a time played insignificant role as the expense of forces or factors within, that are more harmful to the growth and socio-economic development of these countries. The most prominent among, is the inability of administrative leadership across these countries to tap, initiate and transform the societies in line with the resources (both human & Material) at their disposal within their geographical domain. In other words, the socio-economic development of any society is intemperately depending on the nature, character and pattern of its administration. For instance; Freedom, Christian & Temilola (2015) noted that in terms of resources, Nigeria is endowed with enormous natural and human resources sufficient to place it among the first 20 developed countries of the world. It is also the Africa’s largest producer of oil and the sixth largest oil producing country in the world. Yet, these has not been translated or reflected in the socio-economic conditions of the Nigerian citizens. Since independence to date, Nigeria witnessed fourteen different administrations with their concomitant implications on the structure of socio-economic development and well-being of the citizens across the country, despite its abundant human and natural resources. The return of civil rule in 1999 gave Nigerian citizens a high expectation that the new era of socio- economic development and welfare of citizens has came to stay, but today these expectations were defeated by the high level of poverty, unemployment, corruption, insecurity among others that deteriorated the inferior social, economic and well-being of the common men in the country. On one hand, the current administration under President Buhari’s leadership which is under the All progressive congress, during his campaign period vowed to end all the social and economic menaces if elected into office in 2015. On the other hand, many people believed that having assumed office he once occupied as a military officer and for which he contested four times, his administration is expected to urgently tackle several challenges that have besieged Nigeria over the last three decades (Freedom, et.al, 2015). However, things are even getting worse than expected especially considering the massive unemployed youths that are roaming the streets which contributed to the high level of poverty and different sort of crimes across the country. On this background the researcher wants to investigate on the impact of the All progressive congress on the socio-economic development of Nigeria 2015-2017

• STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This is the major problem in Nigeria; difference in interest and in vision is another issue in Nigeria. A new administration is supposed to take over from where the past administration stopped; but at times in Nigeria the reverse is always the case if this issue can be resolved then the economy of Nigeria will be on a more favourable ground.
