Abstract

Foreign policy promotes a state’s interest and its overall survival in the international system. Considering the importance of foreign policy, every sovereign state – regardless of the size, political ideology, and level of development – has always embraced it. This chapter historicizes the Nigerian foreign policy. It does not only explain the different foreign policy thrusts adopted by successive administrations and the raisons d’etre, it also clearly maps out the golden moments and periods of decline. Using the qualitative research method, this chapter thematically focuses on the evolution of Nigeria’s foreign policy and the post-independence dynamics and contradictions.
