JAMB Government covers Nigerian government structures, the constitution, political concepts, international organisations and Nigerian political history. It is a scoring subject for students who read the right materials.
Many Government questions can be answered correctly just from a strong understanding of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution and Nigerian political history from 1914 to the present. International organisations (AU, UN, ECOWAS, Commonwealth) also contribute significant marks each year.
