1 answer

As of September 2021, the civilian leaders of Nigeria are:

1. Muhammadu Buhari: Muhammadu Buhari is the current President of Nigeria. He was first elected in 2015 and re-elected for a second term in 2019. Buhari is a retired Major General in the Nigerian Army and has been involved in Nigerian politics since the 1980s.

2. Yemi Osinbajo: Yemi Osinbajo is the Vice President of Nigeria, serving under President Buhari. He assumed office in 2015 and was re-elected in 2019. Osinbajo is a lawyer and an academician, having previously served as the Attorney General of Lagos State.

These are the key civilian leaders at the federal level in Nigeria. Nigeria also has a federal system of government with 36 states, each headed by a governor who is also a civilian leader. There are several state governors across Nigeria, but listing them all would be beyond the scope of this response.
