Abstract

Pertinent to international relations is foreign image, and Nigeria since independence has projected Africa to be the centrepiece of its foreign policy, thus swift to playing the ‘big brother’ role in Africa. Adopting the expository design, this study examined the foreign and domestic implications of Nigeria’s foreign image alongside the foreign policy perspectives under President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. The study confirmed that Nigeria’s foreign policy decisions and direction are the resultant influence of the personality traits of the leadership, and it concluded that the many challenges faced by the country domestically are not good image projections for it on the international scene. It recommended that in order to attain and maintain a respectable image in the eye of the its neighbours far and near, the Nigerian government needs to focus on infrastructural development, economic diversification, improvement in the energy sector, and the protection of the lives of Nigerians in the diaspora.
