Week One and Two: Africa, as the centrepiece of Nigeria Foreign policy

Introduction:

The origin of this concept “Africa, the centerpiece of Nigeria’s foreign policy” could be

traced to the administration of the first republic in Nigeria (1960-66) headed by the prime

minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. He maintained that: We belong to Africa and as such

 

Nigeria would pursue realistic African policies. Africa should be given a pride of place in

Nigeria’s foreign policy formulation. Other governments especially the Muritala/Obasanjo

administration after Balewa, pursued this policy in practical terms.

The following are the principles of the concept, Africa, the centerpiece of Nigeria’s foreign

policy:

1. Developing programmes for possible assistance to other African states and fostering

understanding among them.

2. The belief in the sovereignty and equality of African states.
