| Abstract | The paper examines and analyzes the crisis of political legitimacy that faced the Federal military Government of Nigeria form 1966 to 1976. The central argument in this paper is that the problem of acquiring political legitimacy played a significant role in the major educational policy implemented by the military regime in Nigeria in the first twelve years of military rule. The military rulers who implemented the national education policy of the 1970's that led to free tuition education at all levels may have acted in the best interest of the country. But they also wanted it to win national recognition and acceptance from all sections of the society. Phenomenal achievements have been made in terms of enrolment increases at all levels of the education system, relative availability of learning facilities, increases in literacy and numeracy rates in the country, and the narrowing of the education gap between the North and South in particular, and between the ethnic groups in general. The author argues however that the national education policy implemented by the military rulers seems to have benefitted the political leadership more than the political community. The Federal Military Government's national policy on education was designed for political expediency. It was meant to serve the purpose of winning approval of votes from the masses. It is a classic case of welfare politics. (DIPF/Abstract übernommen) |
