In this chapter, the question of differential welfare impacts, across interest groups
post democratic reform in a developing country, is explored. There is data evidence
that welfare has improved post democracy in Nigeria. However, the distribution or
concentration of the benefits of democracy in subgroups of the population is unknown.
I break down the population into interest groups along the lines of sector, region, age
cohort and education. The analysis shows these groups all benefitted from reforms
post democracy but the magnitude differed significantly. I find that individuals with
tertiary education are the big winners post democratic reform in Nigeria. Part of the
high benefit of democratic reform on those with tertiary education is explainable from
policy choices and reform. However, a part of it is linked with general equilibrium
effects of a movement to democracy.
