Abstract
Nigeria, African's most populous country, went back to a democratically elected government after the
February 27th, 1999 elections. This democratisation has corne in the wake of many struggles some of
which resulted in certain leading figures being killed. The climax of those dark days was during the
reign of Sani Abacha. Indeed it was in his bloody period of rule that Nigeria was ostracised from the
Commonwealth. In reviewing this text which was published in his reign, I will be reflecting on how
his regime brazenly banned scholars not only from Nigeria but also Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Ghana
and USA from holding a conference whose theme was "Governance and the electoral process"
