Abstract
Democratisation has become a household concept in Nigeria following the collapse of military rule. It is not out of place to link democracy in Nigeria to the wave of democratisation blowing across the globe, especially in Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe following the end of the cold war, with the collapse and fragmentation of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). This article looks at some of the difficulties for democratic action in Nigeria. The importance of teaching democratic values in schools is recognised, and some topics used to provide curricular support for learning about participatory democracy are outlined. An investigation into methods for classroom teaching is described and some advice offered for policy makers and curriculum planners.
