Foreign Policy
Nigeria's foreign policy is anchored in African solidarity, regional leadership through ECOWAS, and South-South cooperation. Key priorities include regional stability, energy diplomacy, and reform of international institutions to give Africa greater representation.
Abuja maintains balanced relationships with the US, UK, China, and the Gulf states. Nigeria is Africa's largest oil producer and a member of OPEC, giving it significant influence in global energy markets. It has used this leverage to advocate for African energy transition on Africa's own terms.
