Nigeria in African Affairs: Hegemonic and Altruistic Considerations
Commitment to Africa has become a permanent policy of the Nigerian state. Yet, critics have expressed reservations about the worthiness of the policy. While their arguments appear strong, they do not provide adequate grounds to justify a reconsideration of the policy. Nigeria’s quest for dominance has always informed the country’s designation of Africa as a primary sphere of interest. To achieve this goal, altruism has become a defining attribute…
Contending Views on Nigeria’s Diplomatic Missions

The return of the country to the path o…
