The last measure used by the pressure groups issuing a condition to be satisfied within a stipulated time is called_______

Analyze the question: The question asks for the term describing a demand or condition that a pressure group issues, which must be met within a stated time. It is the last measure they use before taking stronger action.

Explain the concept: Pressure groups (such as NLC, ASUU, NANS and professional associations) try to influence government policy. They usually escalate in stages:

1. Dialogue/negotiation: talking directly with government officials.
2. Lobbying: persuading llawmakers and officials privately.
3. Ultimatum: a final warning that gives the government a deadline to meet their demands, or else.
4. Strike/protest/boycott: the action taken if the deadline passes.

Step-by-step solution:

• A. Lobbying is an early, informal persuasion method. It has no deadline, so it does not fit.
• B. Ultimatum is a final demand with a time limit. This matches "a condition to be satisfied within a stipulated time."
• C. Dialogue is peaceful discussion and does not carry a deadline or threat.
• D. Strike is the action taken after the ultimatum expires. It is not the issuing of a condition.

Answer: The correct option is B. Ultimatum.

Exam tip: Whenever you see "deadline," "within a stipulated time," or "or else," think ultimatum. A useful sequence to remember is Dialogue → Lobbying → Ultimatum → Strike.
