Abstract:

 
The political history of Nigeria has been a tortuous one. Years after Nigeria’s independence in1960, politicians have failed to learn from lessons of history. Pointedly, political institutions areweak and to that extent lack the capacity to enhance democratic development. In order to closethe lacuna, civil society groups have participated in the drive towards democratic growth andstability. However, such roles are minimal and limited largely because of the character and natureof the Nigerian state. The paper analyses the forces that stultified democratic growth and it alsodelineates the import of civil society groups in enhancing democratic consolidation.
