By Umar Ardo
The late General Murtala Muhammed's roles in the military coup of July 1966 and the Nigeria/Biafra War, and his rise to power in 1975, paint a picture of a young man determined to impact his environment. Using primary and secondary sources, the author describes and analyses Nigeria's political and social evolution under Muhammed, and asserts that Muhammed was Nigeria's first and only nationally acclaimed hero in military uniform.
