This paper looks at the leadership situation in Nigeria. The country has experienced military coups, a civil war and very poor economic development, and its population is more impoverished today than at independence. Behind this lies the 'oil curse'. The ruling elite has captured the rents generated from oil for personal enrichment and power purposes. The author argues that despite the nomination of economic reformers to prominent positions, the vested interests of the political class have not been challenged.
