WAEC - Government (2019 - No. 39)

The government is the agency responsible for fulfilling the purpose of the state. In a political context, the term "government" typically refers to the system or group of individuals with the authority to govern a country or state and make and enforce laws. The government is tasked with maintaining order, providing public services, protecting citizens, and overall managing the affairs of the state. The other options (B. pressure group, C. public corporation, D. media) are not typically responsible for the overall governance and fulfilment of the state's purpose; they may play specific roles but do not have the comprehensive authority and responsibility associated with the government.
