The
task of this paper is to evaluate the various foreign Policy strategies adopted
and pursued by various administrations since 1960 to 2018, and to examine the
level of achievement thus. Nigeria obtained its political independence from
Great Britain on 1st October 1960. Independence naturally led to the
creation of governmental machinery, which in turn necessitated the creation of
relevant administrative structures to oversee the country’s relations with
other countries. Nigeria’s foreign policy since independence has been viewed
from different perspectives. Some
scholars contend that Nigeria’s foreign policy is constantly in a state of flux
as a result of internal and external dynamics inherent in various administrations.
Some other writers however maintain that notwithstanding frequent regime
changes that the substance of Nigeria’s foreign policy has remained the same,
although the approach differs from administration to administration.
To
arrive and properly evaluate this, we implored the research technique of evaluating
every republic based on the Internal Conditions peculiar to the administration
and also evaluate the various strategies adopted in enforcing the Foreign
Policy
