Background of the Study
Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure as President of Nigeria (2015–2023) was marked by significant shifts in the country’s foreign policy, with an emphasis on regional security, economic diplomacy, and strengthening ties with key international partners. Buhari’s administration sought to improve Nigeria's global standing through initiatives such as promoting peace and security in the Sahel region, enhancing trade relationships, and addressing issues like terrorism and climate change on the international stage.
Damaturu, the capital of Yobe State, is an important region in the context of Nigeria's foreign relations, especially considering the security challenges faced by the state due to the insurgency of Boko Haram. Buhari’s foreign policy, particularly his focus on regional stability and international partnerships to combat terrorism, had implications for the security situation in Damaturu. The region’s reliance on international cooperation for security assistance and humanitarian aid made it an interesting case for examining the effects of Buhari’s foreign policy on local international relations.
This study aims to investigate how Buhari’s foreign policy influenced Nigeria's international relations, particularly in relation to Damaturu, Yobe State, and how these policies impacted security, development aid, and international cooperation in the region.
