چکیده
This study, Democracy and Good Governance in Nigeria: Challenges and Prospects is a descriptive analysis that has relied on the use of secondary data as its source of information. The basic purpose of this study is to x-ray the relationship between good governance and democracy and to identify those factors that militate against good governance in Nigeria. The study highlights that after the return of civil rule in 1999, democracy has not achieved good governance in Nigeria. The country is beset with excessive corruption, acute unemployment, poverty, ethno-religious conflicts and lack of infrastructural facilities. Based on the above, it is concluded that the present democratic process in Nigeria is yet to produce good governance.
