This diversity is played out in the way the country is bifurcated along the lines of religion, language, culture, ethnicity and regional identity. The population of about 178.5 million people in 2014 is made up of Christians and Muslims in equal measures of about 50 percent each, but including many who embrace traditional religions as well.The country has continued to experience serious and violent ethno-communal conflicts since independence in 1960, including the bloody and deadly thirty month fratricidal Civil War (also known as the Nigerian-Biafran war, 1967-70) when the eastern region of Biafra declared its secession and which claimed more than one million lives. The most prominent of these conflicts recently pitch Muslims against Christians in a dangerous convergence of religion, ethnicity and politics. The first and most dramatic eruption in a series of recent religious disturbances was th...

They find evidence of performance improvement in nine banks that were privatized, which is remarkable given the inhospitable environment for true financial intermediation. Their results also suggest negativeeffects of the continuing minority government ownership on the performance of many Nigerian banks. The authors'results complement aggregate indications of decreasing financial intermediation over the 1990s. Banks that focused on investment in government bonds and non-lending activities enjoyed a relatively higher performance.

The analysis is structured in such a way so as to reflect the opportunities and dangers of policy reversals in the face of the GFC. The impact of the crisis on different types and forms of governance in the region is considered. The first question is therefore which macro-economic policy instruments have to be applied in ...

Against the background of the new oil boom and the poor state of public institutions, a major development challenge at the turn of the century is thus how oil revenue could be better managed to engender growth and poverty reduction. This paper evaluates the various options for managing oil rent and argues that the current push for transparency in the oil industry is necessary, but in itself not sufficient. It recommends a holistic approach involving a range of measures by developed nations, extractive industries and the countries themselves in managing oil wealth as well as strengthening the capacity of civil society to monitor transparency. Ultimately, it is unlikely that African oil exporters will be able to use oil windfalls to fuel poverty reduction without improving their democratic institutions and administrative capacity.
