Description
Abstract:	Successive military governments in Nigeria from 1966 to 1986 have led to militarization of the state accompanied by a reciprocal degree of civilization of the military. The military has had to ally with different segments of the civilian ruling class in order to implement state power. Since women are not represented in the armed forces and are only marginally represented in the civil ruling class, they are excluded from the state decision-making.
