This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the nature and dynamics of Nigeria’s strategic interests in Africa. Nigeria since independence in 1960 has always declared Africa as the centrepiece of her foreign policy. She overstreched her self and behaved like a “Santa clause”.
The study has carefully analysed the challenges facing Nigeria in her pursuit of strategic interest in Africa. Nigeria’s capability to realise her strategic interest in Africa is often constrained by the presence and activities of extra-regional and regional actors and their surrogates.

The Concern for defence and security is a basic pre-occupation of every human being, community and indeed every nation.

Nigerian National Security Agencies: Functions, Challenges and Prospects
One of the cardinal roles of government of any nation-state is the provision of security to protect or secure the life and property of its citizens. Because of this reason, Nigeria’s constitution expressly establishes a number of security and intelligence agencies that make up the national security architecture, which includes agencies ranging from the armed forces, the police and other security and other intelligence agencies.
National security activities are governed by the laws set forth by the National assembly. These laws define the authorities and powers of security and defence agencies, establish guidelines and boundaries for their activities, and guide presidential orders that shape their future.
