This second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Nigeria is an excellent compendium of information about Nigeria, a great reference source, which augments the ample publications on different aspects of Nigerian studies.

The work sheds considerable light on the processes and forces that have continued to shape Nigerian history and development; and will stand the test of time and historicity. It will definitely be useful for students, researchers and the general readers.
