Abstract
My inaugural lecture interrogates a dominant, in fact, the dominant subject in my discipline, political science. The subject is POWER - state power. The purpose is to share with you my studies, researches, and knowledge gained and produced over the years about the power of the state as the most central subject in the discipline of political science. It is also to share lessons learnt, contributions made and above all offer suggestions, about the subject matter especially as it relates to our country Nigeria. Please permit me to observe that my lecture is the third inaugural lecture from the Department of Political Science since the department became independent from Business Administration (Management Sciences) 48 years ago in 1973. The first inaugural lecture
was delivered by Professor Alaba Ogunsanwo in 1990; the second was by Professor Solomon Akinboye in 2013.
