Abstract

Foreign and domestic structure issues are related products of the same political system and are designed to define and implement overall national purposes. Foreign and domestic policy must be mutually supporting if national interests aspirations are to be achieved in an atmosphere of political stability. The research was carried out on the Domestic structure and conduct of Nigeria’s Foreign Policy and a Case study method was adopted under Goodluck Jonathan administration (2010-2015). The review of literature on foreign policy and other related material and the adoption of “Realist Theory” which is anchored on interest led us to the conclusion that Nigeria’s seeming inaction during the period of study was an acknowledgement of the limits of its power. Against this background the study concludes that Nigeria’s foreign policy has since independence been consistently guided by the same principles and objectives. Nigeria’s Foreign Policy initiatives and actions have been defined by one firm and constant variable, i.e. the protection of the country’s national interest. As a recommendation, the study recommended, above all, that Nigeria must involve a “home grown” economic policy and honestly abode by its implementation
