ABSTRACT
Scholars predicted that with the enthronement of the democratic rule which the United States backed in May 1999, Nigeria’s
relations with the United States will be set for a new course with
greater depth and stability.The situation however was that these
rejuvenated inter relations coincided with the increase in incidences of
terrorism in the Middle East, the removal of sanctions placed on Nigeria by the Western countries,
the increasing US demand for Nigeria’s oil, and the continous offer of
co operations and aid by the United States to Nigeria. Nigeria thus,
being a key figure in the Gulf of Guinea, has most of its income for foreign policy implementation from the sale of Crude oil
and majors in importation of goods and services. The study anchored
analysis on the Dependency theory and collected data from secondary
sources which were descriptively analysed. As its problem of study, the
study confronted the potency of Nigeria having independent and sovereign
formulations and implementation of foreign policies since its main
source of income is from crude oil sales and the United States, on the
other hand, has been its biggest buyer; hence, the interrogation of
whether Nigeria’s foreign policy, within the period of 1999 – 2010, was
conditioned and limited by the foreign policies of the United States.
The study finds that the United States does not underestimate the
importance of having Nigeria, with its leading position in Africa, as
both a political and economic ally and would thus, take keen interest in
its national/economic and foreign policies. However, the study
recommends that for true independent policies, Nigeria could change its
position of dependency by expanding its crude oil market to more buyers
and by encouraging true economic diversification. Since as the scenario
would have it, the correlation between the two nations and their foreign
policy interests, if not properly managed, could put the future
sovereignty of
Nigeria in the international arena to question. In other words, cautionary measures must be taken.
