Legislative-Executive Conflict in Nigeria Fourth Republic

This book give a lucid analysis regarding one of the major factors threatening Nigeria's nascent democracy today is conflict between the executive and legislative arms of government. This nature of relationship is not only injurious to democratic consolidation, but also treacherous to political stability and development. The inability of the legislature to meaningfully impact on policy process and perform its oversight role on the executive portends a reversal from democratic to quasi-dictatorial governance. the book also argues that the relationship that exists between the executive and legislature is very crucial for facilitating good governance in any democratic government, which makes cooperation preferable to conflict in executive-legislative relations in any democratic setting.
