Abstract
This study examines the impact of Western influence, particularly from the United Kingdom (UK), on Nigeria’s growth and development between 2015 and 2024. The study examines whether UK policies, investments and diplomatic relations have contributed to Nigeria’s economic, political and social development during this period 2015-2024. Using an ex-post facto research design, the study relies on documentary data from secondary sources through the lens of dependency and Neocolonialism theory to analyze critical indicators such as bilateral trade dynamics, foreign aid, governance reforms, and diplomatic engagements. This study found that UK-Nigeria unequal trade partnership has hindered Nigeria’s growth and perpetuated economic dependency and assessed that UK-Nigeria relations although having some stabilizing influences reinforces colonial structures that undermine Nigeria’s political stability .The study concludes with policy recommendations for Nigeria to engage in rapid diversification and renegotiate equitable trade terms to curtail the unequal trade partnership and enhance self-sufficiency and reduce domestic interference for sustainable development.
