Hegemonic Years: From the Founding Fathers to Soldier-Diplomats
摘要
The role conceptions of the founding fathers, successive regimes from 1960 to 1985 and the specific roles that catapulted Nigeria to the top of the ladder in Africa are critically examined in this chapter. The problems or setbacks were also discussed, but the chapter situates Nigeria’s enviable era in foreign policy and dominance in Africa within this period.
