Nigeria Other Interest Groups
Other notable interest groups included social clubs and
fraternities, old boys' and alumni associations, and
various
voluntary associations. On the whole, the activities of
interest
groups and the roles they played in national politics
depended on
how narrow or broad the group's interests were, the
resources
available to it, its ties with those in authority, its
affiliation with other groups, and the ideological
character of
its membership. The major interest groups were elitist,
but other
groups were also active at times.
