dc.description.abstractThe Babangida Military Government came into being on August 27, 1985 in the wake of the ouster of the Buhari Military government. After gathering some momentum, the regime enunciated a transition programme for handing over power to civilians . The regime established a politica l Bureau to review the politica l economy of Nigeria. It banned and disqualified various categories of people from partisan politic s to 'sanitise' the politica l atmosphere of Nigeria; formed and funded two politica l parties ; shifted the handover date four times and annulled the 1992 presidential primaries. This was followed by the nullification of the June 12, 1993 presidential polls. The Military played the role of insincerity in the transition process through politica l and socio-economic machination in the name of experimentation. The politicians played the role of pliability , immaturity, imprudence and greediness in the name of managing the Military out of power. The Intellectuals, being the architects of the politica l and social engineering under the aegis of experimentation, played the role of the opportunists. The Members of the Media played the role of sycophants and opportunists through political coloration and yellow journalism. The Professionals /Bureaucrats played the subservient role by executing policies designed by the ruling regime to stultif y the programme. The Traditional Rulers and Clergy played the role of opportunists and subservients. In retrospect of the aftermath of the Transition Programme, this Thesis recommends that politica l education, seriousness of purpose, commitment and sincerity on the part of the Nigerian Elite are the only therapy to the Nigerian socio-economic and politica l trauma.en_US
