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
