ABSTRACT A major economic policy of the first military regime in Nigeria, 1966-79, was the indigenisation of the national economy.

In 1964, under a post-colonial government, the policy was mooted, but a concrete formulation, perhaps delayed because of the polit...

Kierkegaard‟s ethical philosophy, which is embedded in his theory of stages, provides an insight into the analysis of the concept of commitment. The work is a critical study of the problem of co...
