In this regard, a Multi-factor leadership Questionnaire was administered to ascertain the leadership type adopted by Nigeria's Fourth Republic leadership. In addition to this, an interview was conducted to gather information from top officials of the Nigerian government on how Nigeria's Fourth Republic leadership performed the role of effective leaders saddled with the responsibility of facilitating good governance in the country.
