Explanation written with AI and checked against the answer key
Analyze the question: The question asks which military regime launched the War Against Indiscipline (WAI) campaign in Nigeria.
Concept: WAI was a social re-orientation program launched in March 1984 by the military government of Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (with Major-General Tunde Idiagbon as Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters, who drove its implementation). Its goal was to instill discipline and civic responsibility in Nigerians.
Key features of WAI:
- Orderly queueing at bus stops and public places
- Punctuality and hard work in the workplace
- Anti-corruption and anti-lawlessness measures
- Environmental sanitation and patriotism
Step-by-step elimination:
- A. Obasanjo (1976-79): His regime launched Operation Feed the Nation (OFN) and Universal Primary Education (UPE). Not WAI.
- B. Abacha (1993-98): Known for the Vision 2010 programme and the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF). Not WAI.
- C. Buhari (1983-85): Launched WAI in 1984. ✔
- D. Babangida (1985-93): Known for the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP), MAMSER, DFRRI, and the People's Bank. Not WAI.
Correct answer: C. General Muhammadu Buhari.
Exam tip: Link each regime to its signature programme:
- Obasanjo → OFN, UPE
- Buhari → WAI
- Babangida → SAP
- Abacha → PTF, Vision 2010
A simple memory trick is "Buhari = Behave": both start with B, and WAI is about behaviour and discipline.
