Nigeria at the Frontline: A conversation with the UK Press

The 2015 general election in Nigeria has become one of the most talked about in recent months. This is not just because Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa and the most populous, but also because it is the first time that the period of election coincides with a time of high security concerns. The terrorist group Boko Haram has devastated areas of the North East of Nigeria. It is also a time when the government is being accused of not doing enough.
