Abstract

Nigeria, in her 55 years of nationhood, is the most populated black nation in the world.

In Nigeria, Christianity, Islam and traditional religions are most widely practised. Religion is a faith-based process that is capable of impacting on governance and the behavioural attitudes of every believer. Nigeria is a secular state.
