Abstract
This study examines U.S. hegemonic posture in Nigeria’s economy and politics from 2000-2024. Specifically, the study investigates whether U.S. economic policies, trade agreements, and foreign aid impact Nigeria’s economy; if U.S. diplomatic and political intervention influence Nigeria’s governance and foreign policy and the role of U.S. multinational corporations and financial institutions in shaping Nigeria’s economic strategies. By adopting documentary method of data collection, Hegemonic Stability theory and expost facto research design, the study found that U.S. economic policies significantly influence Nigeria's economy through extensive aid creating institutional dependencies, high oil export concentration, and dollar-dominated reserves constraining monetary autonomy. U.S. diplomatic interventions shape governance through electoral support programs and security assistance creating validation dependencies. U.S. corporations’ impact economic strategies through sectoral dominance and structural adjustment programs imposing Washington Consensus policies.. The study therefore concludes and recommends that the Nigerian government should implement economic diversification strategies to reduce external dependencies and enhance autonomous development capacity.
