ABURI ACCORD IN NIGERIAN CIVIL WAR

ABSTRACT

This Study examines the Aburi Accord and its significance to Nigeria Civil war.The Issues that culminated into the Aburi Accord and eventually the Nigeria Civil war can be traceable to the structure and nature of administration that existed in Nigeria even from the colonial era.1Precisely, on January 1, 1914, Britain, a former colonial power gave birth to the nation, Nigeria through series of diplomatic initiatives and conquests that led to the amalgamation of the ethnically and culturally diverse Northern and Southern Protectorates. This explains that Nigeria became a British colony as a result of the diplomacy of imperialism than a matter of choice for any of the peoples that were to be enclosed within this plan and structure that came to be recognized and administered as one territorial unit called Nigeria.
