ABSTRACT
The European Union (EU) and other international donors have been involved in the promotion of election administration in Nigeria since the country returned to civil rule in 1999. This research examines the contributions of the EU to Nigeria‘s democracy concerning election administration so as to ascertain the extent to which their contributions have impacted on the quality of elections in the country‘s democratic development. This work was guided by the following objectives. To ascertain the nature of EU‘s contributions to election administration in Nigeria from 1999-2015; to examine the impacts of these contributions to Nigeria‘s democratic development and to observe whether these contributions have added value to Nigeria‘s democracy. This work adopts David Mitrany‘s functional theory of international relations in explaining the role of EU in Nigeria‘s election administration process. The methods of data collection is qualitative in nature; hence, both in-depth interviews and content analysis were used for the study. The study concludes that the EU made financial, technical, logistics and election observation contributions to Nigeria‘s election administration. The findings of the study has shown that contrary to the long held view by some scholars that EU‘s involvement in Nigeria‘ election administration process is solely anchored on interest in crude oil, this study reveals that there are both political and economic motivations in EU ‗s contributions. There are other contending interests such as migration and global peace that democracy is prone to promote and the strategic location of Nigeria as a beacon of hope for the black race thereby giving credence to the theory of functionalism which emphasizes cooperation for the common interest of all. The study recommends that all hands should be on deck to ensure a conducive atmosphere by all critical stakeholders in promoting election administration in Nigeria.
