Am 27. August 1985 wurde nach knapp zweijähriger Herrschaft der selbst durch einen Putsch an die Macht gekommene Mohammed Buhari durch einen Staatsstreich des Generalstabschefs Ibrahim Babangida gestürzt. Das Hauptproblem der neuen nigerianischen Regierung ist es, eine konsensfähige wirtschaftspolitische Strategie zu finden, die vor allem die Auslandsverschuldung abbauen hilft. Generalmajor Babangida kam vermutlich einem Putsch jüngerer Offiziere zuvor, die mit der antidemokratischen und wirtschaftlich erfolglosen Politik Buharis unzufrieden waren. (SWP-Ort)

President Buhari came to power in the midst of challenges ranging from security, economy and international relations. To overcome these challenges, Buhari's government decided to look inward for reforms in the overall security apparatus in order to relate effectively with the outside world for sustainable development in Nigeria. It is against this backdrop that this paper analyzed Buhari's foreign policy within the first Twelve (12) months of his administration and came to conclusion that, he was a realist in perception using political power for the realization of national objectives.

The present political regime in Nigeria under the All Progressive Congress (APC) led government by General Mohammed Buhari (Retd) has been waging a yeoman war against corruption. The dictionary meaning of Corruption being illegal or dishonest behavior. Buhari having won the election to run for another term of four years has sworn to continue with the battle. Unfortunately, in Nigeria, corruption has become an enormous timber that has branches. Some of these evil branches are dishonesty, immoral behaviors, bribery and all forms of illegalities that you can think of. Corruption has eaten deep into the fabrics of the nation.

Analyse der Entwicklung der Nachrichtendienste in Nigeria. Die politisch strategische Bedeutung wird im Vergleich mit den US-Diensten FBI und CIA angesprochen. Erste systematische Ansätze gab es in Nigeria nach der Ermordung von Murtala Mohammed 1986 mit der Gründung der 'Nigerian Safety Organisation' (NSO). Unter der Regierung Buhari überzog die Organisation ihre Kompetenzen und wurde nach dem Sturz Buharis unter Babangida aufgelöst. Drei neue Organisationen wurden gebildet, das Personal qualifizierter ausgebildet, zudem auch das Polizeiwesen geändert und gesellschaftlichen Bedürfnissen angepaßt. (DÜI-Wsl)

This study is determined to compare the effect of integrated psychosocial stimulation, nutritional support, and water sanitation hygiene interventions on malnourished children. An individual randomized trial design comprising weekly home visits for 3 months in four locations of Kanam Local Government Area, Plateau state, was adopted. The eligible malnourished children were identified through a door–to–door survey using standard procedures of anthropometric measurements (weight, height, mid-upper arm circumference) and children with body mass index (BMI) < 16Kg/m2 were selected. A focus group discussion session, follow-up home visitation on weekly and monthly facilitation/support of mother-to-mother, weekly distribution of food supplements, home stimulation environment through the provision of WASH material and age-specific psychosocial stimulation activities were part of intervention strategies adopted for the study. The result shows a significant difference between base-line and end-line data, impacted by integrated package delivery which enhanced and improved nutritional and developmental outcomes of malnourished children over the period of intervention. Furthermore, the findings reveal that there is a non-significant difference among the study groups. However, the observed effect on outcomes based on average BMI indicators is at causal pathways to improve child nutritional status outcomes. The study concludes that the integrated intervention package improved the developmental and nutritional outcomes in malnourished children. Implementation of these integration packages over a longer duration is needed to witness a significant improvement.

In this book the author chronicles the root causes of the rise and fall of the governments of Balewa, Aguiyi-Ironsi, Gowon, Mohammed, Obasanjo, Shagari, Buhari and the situation under the present Babangida regime. In this critical analysis of leadership failure and discontinuity in Nigeria from 1960 to 1986, he also examines alternative models for nation-building, including the strategies for the arrest of Nigeria's chronic political instability and the current economic morass
