| Summary / Abstract (Note) | President Obasanjo and the donor community pursued a mutually convenient close relationship that impacted the nature of reform implementation during his tenure in office. This article identifies the forces motivating these close relations and illustrates how they shaped Obasanjo's record of economic, governance and political reform. Several specific instances - debt relief, oil sector transparency and the third-term gambit - illustrate both the benefits and shortcomings of the donor community as a reform advocate in Nigeria |
