Abstract

This paper looks at governance and democratic practices in Nigeria from 2015 to 2019. With a working organ of the executive, legislative, and judiciary since 1999, Nigeria has maintained the practice of a democratic system of governance. The sustained interests of such practice have been envisioned to proffer social and economic developments. The chapter identifies the policies made by the legislature on social development from 2015 to 2019. It investigates how these policies have impacted the democratic governance of Nigeria; and unravels gaps in the effective dividends of democracy in Nigeria. The chapter concludes that although the democratic process has become a practice in Nigeria; social development—human security, poverty reduction, and sustainable economic growth—has been crippled in Nigeria. Using the descriptive method of analysis, the study will rely primarily on secondary data.
