The Tinubu-led government should be committed to international development efforts while advocating for equitable partnerships that align with the African Union (AU) Agenda 2063 and Nigeria's development objectives.
As a president emerged from an election that chloroformed the imagination of citizens from substantive issues during the campaign season, it is understandable, even if regrettable, that foreign policy issues never got to the top line of scrutiny and debates. It didn’t take time for such an important omission to assert itself.
To be sure, apartheid in South Africa has ended; the siege of Mozambique and Angola has been lifted; and most African states, with the lone exception of Western Sahara under Moroccan internal colonialism, are now independent, negating a compelling reason to retain Afrocentrism in its foreign policy. Looking ahead, thoughts on a redoubtable Tinubu foreign policy should be guided by the imperatives of economic development, security, sovereignty, regional stability, and international cooperation.
Strengthening its stature within the AU and UN: The government must increase its activism and commitment to multilateralism by actively participating in several platforms such as the AU, UN, and other international organisations to contribute to the global agenda on peace and security, regional integration, socio-economic development, and political stability. Nigeria has dramatically regressed in its interest in multilateralism, which has weakened its international stature.
