Abstract
The aim of this research is to analyze the foreign policy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, focusing on the various changes that took place in Nigerian foreign policy since Independent, and specifically upon the election of President M. Buhari. It sets out to explain these changes and classify them through the analysis of Ogidan.P. Damilola and the theoretical model developed by Charles F. Hermann in his article ‘Changing Course: When Governments Choose to Redirect Foreign Policy’, attempting to answer the following question: which are the most influential factors in shaping Nigeria’s foreign policy since independence? The paper holds that there is a mix of internal causes and exogenous factors determining the course of Nigerian foreign policy. Foreign policy is basically the mirror of domestic policy, but it will be insufficient, this be the only focus on analysis, as the most important factors in this analysis is both domestic and external.
