Abstract

This work examines Nigeria's foreign policy in Africa Tin the context of her afro-centric posture. Afro-centrism has remained an integral part of the country 's foreign policy since her independence in 1960. Reasons for the afro-centric nature of the country's foreign policy are advanced in the paper. Essentially, afro-centrism is consistent with the country's leadership role on the continent. This posture has given Nigeria worldwide visibility and recognition as the dominant power in Africa. It provides evidences and makes recommendations that gave rise to the Afrocentric posture of Nigeria's foreign policy.
