This book covers critical issues in Nigeria's external relations
since 1960. As an independent nation, Nigeria has stood out as the
most populous black country in the world and contributed immensely
to the search for solutions to pressing international issues,
notably in Africa affairs. Nigeria has also participated actively
in global affairs and used the platform of international
organisation to advance her national interests, cognisant also of
its regional and global obligations and responsibilities.
Contributors to this thought-provoking book make a strong case for
Nigeria to press for a foreign policy that puts Nigerian people at
the centre. One of the strong points also emanating from the
contributors of this book is the imperative for Nigeria to address
domestic challenges that continue to impinge on the country's
external image.

obligations. The contributors address areas such as Nigeria's
economic development and policies, Nigeria's relationship with
other countries, and the urgent challenge of countering terrorism

pandemic brought to the fore the need for strong global relations
and reminded humanity of the importance of multilateral solutions
to global problems such as health. The editors and contributors
address essential questions such as how well has Nigerian foreign
policy and its practice of diplomacy served national interest, and
what more needs to be done to assure of better results now and into
the future.
