Nigeria's Fourth Republic
Nigeria's Fourth Republic began in 1999, marking the country's return to civilian rule after years of military dictatorship. It established a democratic government with a president, elected by the people, and a national assembly for legislation. This period has seen Nigeria work towards political stability, economic development, and democratic consolidation, though challenges like corruption, insecurity, and governance issues persist. The Fourth Republic signifies Nigeria's commitment to democracy, with regular elections and greater participation of citizens in political processes, shaping the nation's ongoing quest for stability and growth.
