This study reveals thatduring the military regime of President Buhari
In keeping in line with the country Afro-centric policy, the regime continued to push for decolonisation and end to apartheid in SADR. This finally culminated in eventual independence for South Africa, the recognition of Nigeria to SADR also granted impetus to the SADR calls for independence.
In international economic relations, the regime was able to pursue an independent policy despite pressure from capitalist bodies such as IMF & World Bank for the devaluation of Naira due to economic imbalance. The regime was able to maintain the value of naira against dollars and provide basic service for the populace.
The regime was able to pursue an independent foreign policy without unnecessary influence from her former colonial master- the United Kingdom, or other western power. The regime was able to pursue a foreign policy which is important to the achievement of her national interest.
Through the instrumentality of international organisation such as O.A.U and U.N, the regime pushed for the independence of states under colonial rules.
