It delves into the strategic decisions, policy changes, and diplomatic initiatives so far undertaken during the last six months of his administration. Using documentary sources, the paper further examines the impact of these policies on Nigeria\u2019s international relations, economic growth, and regional stability. It also provides an analysis of the challenges encountered and the strategies employed to overcome them. The study concludes with an assessment of the effectiveness of President Tinubu\u2019s foreign policy and its implications for Nigeria\u2019s future diplomatic engagements. This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of Nigeria\u2019s foreign policy dynamics and offer insights for policy formulation and implementation.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>SAMUEL NAANSUAN DAWAM (PLATEAU STATE UNIVERSITY BOKKOS, PLATEAU STATE)<\/li>\n<li>SOLOMON JANG ARIN (PLATEAU STATE UNIVERSITY BOKKOS, PLATEAU STATE)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>Imperatives, Foreign Policy, Tinubu, Administration<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: IMPERATIVES OF NIGERIA\u2019S FOREIGN POLICY UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU Original&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[3258,3092,3467,3468],"class_list":["post-6359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-administration","tag-foreign-policy","tag-imperatives","tag-tinubu","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
