Abstract

When the government of the day is not in control of governance, it is an understatement to refer to that government as a failed one, far from that. Governments are actually put in place to not only be in control, but also, to be highly responsive and responsible to governance. The case is different with Nigeria?s leaders as glaring cases abound that makes the hitherto the so called giant of Africa to be one of the countries of the world with a defining characteristics of a failed state. This paper seeks to analyse what a failed state is? And why states are failing which have now become the focal points of our apprehension. It concludes with vivid recommendations on how to mitigate the slide in governance, a way out if only Nigeria is enthusiastic to reclaim its vanished prominence. Only secondary source of data collection was used in the course of this research.
