Abstract & Insight
This book provides an in-depth analysis of the traditional chieftaincy institution in Nigeria, exploring its historical evolution, significance in local governance, and the challenges it faces in contemporary society. 'Practical Approach to Chieftaincy in Nigeria' serves as an essential resource for understanding the interplay between tradition and modernity within the Nigerian socio-political landscape.
Adebayo delves into the roles and responsibilities of chiefs, the process of chieftaincy succession, and the legal frameworks governing these traditional leaders. Through various case studies, the book illustrates how chieftaincy can both facilitate community cohesion and become a source of conflict, particularly in the face of modern governance challenges. This title is invaluable for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the dynamics of leadership and culture in Nigeria.
