Nigeria Politics & Security

Nigeria's presidency is probably the most demanding executive position on the continent. As a result of President Umaru Yar'Adua's prolonged and serious illness, the largely untested and inexperienced Goodluck Jonathan has become Acting President of Africa's complex and most populous country. The coming year will determine how long he can survive, and Nigeria Politics & Security will be monitoring the situation closely.

Every Friday, Nigeria Politics & Security, written by our team in Abuja and the Niger Delta, produces the detailed round-up of the latest news and gossip direct from Nigeria. Besides monitoring security in the Niger Delta, it also covers the latest oil and gas news, plus all of the political and business scandals that will shape the coming week.
