Abstract
This paper examines Nigeria's foreign policy making and implementation under Olusegun Obasanjo'scivilian administration. Therefore, th is work interrogateshow Obasanjo's administration formulated and implemented Nigeria's foreign policy. To successfully accomplish this task, both primary and secondary data were collected. Interviews conducted with principal actors and secondary data obtained from books, journals, magazines, bulletins, newspapers and government records were analysed to achieve the objectives of the study.Among other findings, the study observed that there were structures put in place for Nigeria's foreign policy making processes under Obasanjo's c ivilian rule. It is important to note also, that the actual foreign policies formulated were dictated primarily by Obasanjo's personality and executive leadership decisions. The paperthereforc recommends, among others, that strong institutions should be put in place to facilitate foreign policy _ making and execution, and there should be standard operational procedures in foreign policy making and execution that would strengthen institutions and limit personalities.
