The Peace Agreement (Lagos Accord)

The Lagos Accord, signed in 1990, was a peace agreement aimed at resolving political and ethnic conflicts in Nigeria, particularly in the wake of the country’s turbulent transition from military to democratic rule. It sought to create a framework for dialogue among various political factions and regional groups, promoting national unity and stability. Key aspects included provisions for fair elections and the protection of minority rights. While it represented a significant step towards peace, the Accord faced challenges in implementation and was part of a broader struggle for democratic governance in Nigeria.
