This book, Nigerian Political and Administrative Diary, is a synopsis of some of the major Nigerian political and administrative trends, issues and events. However, writing it is more difficult than wading inside a sea and more so, Nigeria is such a large, heterogeneous and complex state that any account on its political and administrative issues and events are too large, inevitably very controversial, can hardly be complete and never perfect.

Therefore, this book is neither a perfect nor complete diary of the Nigerian political and administrative issues and affairs, but an attempt to keep notes of some of the major issues and events in the Nigerian journey to nationhood which has been on through its second century. The book is presented in Chapters and Pieces with each dealing with a specific aspect of the Nigerian political and or administrative issues and or events.

It is a first step guide to among others, students, historians, public policy makers, and researchers in the Nigerian political and administrative issues and events. References are specially made to acknowledge sources and give further insights on the sources of and the materials used throughout the book.
