Abstract
Nigeria shook off the British political hegemony and became an independent sovereign state in 1960. Soon after the independence, the nation-building process started in its full swing. The leaders who took over the mantle of power from the British overlords aimed at resolving many conflicting issues and crises but from various political and economic challenges the nation is plunged into, it is evident that the country has not been fortunate to have leaders who can be exhibiting the type of leadership that could command patriotism from followers. The paper focuses on the problems inhibiting nation-building in Nigeria and the types of leaders Nigeria have had. The work further offered useful suggestions that could help in building a virile, stable and viable, and developed nation.
