This study is primarily a description of the social background of students at Ahmadu Bello University in Nigeria. But it also attempts to put this data alongside comparable data that are available from other West African countries. The aim is therefore to present data on the Nigerian university and social situation, while at the same time suggesting directions which class formation may be taking in Nigeria and elsewhere in West Africa.

The centrality of elite recruitment has been comprehensively stated by Seligman
