Abstract

This paper examines Nigeria foreign policy and business ethics, particularly its bilateral relations with China between 1990s and 2020. It further explores China’s interest in the oil sector. It argues that China’s quest for oil security has attracted it to many African countries. Although, Nigeria and China diplomatic relations began in February 1971, its relations were not sealed until 1999, when the military surrendered power to a democratically elected government. It explains that a number of bilateral agreements between the two countries endured China’s readiness to finance infrastructural development in Nigeria. This paper further evaluates the economic and trade links between the two countries and its impact on Nigeria economic performance. With the use of appropriate statistical data, integration of primary and secondary sources, the paper addresses the security challenges to China’s quest to penetrate Nigeria’s oil sector in the Niger Delta. It concludes that since China is the second largest importer of crude oil in the world, there is urgent need for Nigerian government to re-direct its foreign policy in order to ensure smooth relations with China. This would to a large extent enhance the acceleration of socio-economic development of the oil producing communities in Niger Delta and the country at large.Key Words: Nigeria, Foreign Policy, Crude Oil, China, Economic

Abstract

Great powers within the global system are deemed to be financially and militarily powerful to stand behind the multilateral institutions as sentinel and use such as a tool of achieving national interests. In this case, most researchers have toed such a line of reasoning while sidelining the role regional powers could also play in multilateral intuitions at regional and sub-regional levels. The current research, therefore, queries the role of regional hegemony in the employment of multilateral institutions in achieving foreign policy goals. It seeks to provide basic elements underlining the involvement of Nigeria in international organizations. As Nigeria conducts most of its external relations through multilateral diplomacy, it is imperative to provide a conceptual basis upon which such a role can be defined. In doing this we present the contemporary case study of Nigeria’s involvement in Mail to buttress our claim. The article relies on the theoretical precept of Regional Security Complex which emphasizes the role of state actors in the multilateral institutions to stem the tides of regional insecurity. In addition, the study uses newspapers, textbooks, speeches, archival records, articles in journals, and internet sources. In utilizing all these data sources, the use of latent content analysis and textual mining in interpreting and analyzing the data is upheld. Thus, the research found that Nigeria needs to be more proactive and assertive in Africa’s regional institutions in order to mitigate the insecurity issue in West Africa. The research, therefore, concludes that Nigeria, as the sole regional power in West Africa, needs to act fast to prevent the total collapse of security architecture in West Africa and the Sahel.
