dc.description.abstractMany Foreign Policy scholars have written extensively on Nigeria's foreign policy especially as regards its role in the international community. But basically the objectives of Nigeria's foreign policy has the desire of making Africa the cornerstone of these objectives. This study is therefore an attempt to look at the contribution of Nigeria's foreign policy with regards to the eradication of colonialism and apartheid from the continent. The eradication of colonialism and apartheid and ultimately independence of African States has always been emphasized as the objective of Nigeria's foreign policy. This research work attempts to bring out the shortcomings and failures of Nigeria to eradicate the twin evil of colonialism and apartheid from the continent when these efforts conflict with the nations national interest. The study is divided into five chapters namely introduction, bedrock of the foreign policy of African States, efforts at eradication of colonialism and apartheid by Governments in Nigeria, contradictions and then conclusion.Even though African States and indeed Nigeria have similar problems and their wish to fight these problems by fashioning out Afrocentric foreign policy. Nigeria had from independence championed this cause and did everything with her means to nip these evils in the bud. In trying to achieve these desires however, Nigerian leaders have wavered along the lines of concrete actions and sometimes allowed themselves to be used or dictated to by Western imperialistsen_US
