Military regimes in Nigeria returned power to civilians through transition programmes. These programmes were typically designed to allow for a peaceful transfer of power from the military to civilian government, usually through the establishment of a timetable for elections, the drafting of a new constitution, and the implementation of various democratic reforms. The transition programmes were often negotiated with various stakeholders, including political parties, civil society groups, and international organizations, in order to ensure broad-based support and legitimacy. The goal of these programmes was to restore democratic governance to Nigeria after years of military rule.
