The paper posits that the absence of democratic stability in Nigeria especially since the enthronement of democratic governance on May 29, 1999 is due largely to lack of effective citizenship education in the country. The import of the paper is that effective citizenship education in Nigeria is the panacea to Democratic Stability in the country and recommends how this could be realized.
